Skinny, bloated iguana

Meka Oct 08, 2008 08:04 PM

My iguana is about a year old now. Not sure on sex, but he seems very bloated tonight and has been very skinny lately. He eats fine, has nice color, and acts fine, but he is so skinny and bloated right now. He had defecated recently, but I'm not sure if this could be some sort of obstruction or internal parasite. Any help?? He isn't looking good.

I would strongly suggest a vet visit. It could be either issue and with out a vet exam there is nothing more that can be done.

Definately a vet visit is needed....could be internal parasites, or a million other things.
