Poop...

[*~* ßêR *~*]

yes, poop.  i guess you can tell that your a very observant mama (obsessive) when you notice changes in poop lol.  today my beast, my boyfriend named him tito, had a huge poop like normal.  it didn't look normal tho.  there was ALOT of liquid around it and it was more of a grey then the normal dark color it usually is.  it almost looked like it was poo in a pearllized sack.  there was some white for the uriates, but about half of it had a tinge of yellow to it.  yesterday he was extremely lethargic, slept most of the day, didn't move around much at all, and just seemed like he was depressed.  after his poo today he was moving around more, but still kinda seemed to be in a stupor.  he hasn't touched his veggies in a couple days, which isn't abnormal because he seems to go back and forth between pigging out on either the crix or the veggies. (he's been on a cricket streak)

nothing has changed.  i am calling in the morning to get an appointment for him to be treated for parasites.  the vet said since stripe had them, theres a good chance that "tito" does too and she's just going to treat him for them. 

am i freaking over nothing?  poor tito has to take the backlash of a mama hurt and now over reacting with him because of bad choices with stripe!?  lol

i cant answer ur question but trigger had poo like that before then the next day it was normal, and fingers crossed, hes been fine... i jut it down to him maybe havin a little upset belly! hope ur little one is ok  was he named tito after the ufc fighter?

lol,, i wish..i think he named him after the jackson tito, im not sure tho, i'll have to ask him when he wakes up!! lol

do you know if shedding could have something to do with it?  because he has been shedding here n there over the past week.  when i woke up this morning i took a look at him and he's just laying there looking all miserable.  i feel so bad for him, he likes to lay there like a doggy does when they're pouting (head flat on the ground inbetween their front legs), well thats how mine pouts anyways lol

Tito Jackson of the "5".
Yes shedding will most certainly cause irritability, change in diet, and serious pouting !
Might wanna offer a bath while he's that itchy.. it'll help.
Hope that helps out !

oh thank you so much!! i've been way attentive over him since stripe.  plus since i've had him on newspaper i've been able to see what his poops look like and how often he has them.  didn't see that in that walnut stuff, it always got burried right away.  poor guy, once the kids are gone to grandmas i'll put him in the tub! thank you thank you thank you!!!

iv definetly found trigger acts just like that when he is shedding or due a shed and a warm bath always seems to perk him up  my girl red on the other hand hasnt shed for a good while, her tail has changed colour which iv been told is normal if shes ready to shed, now her heads gone the same colour as her tail and still no shed

Amber, it's fine for his poop to look like that sometimes. All my adults like to scare me that way occasionally.
I disagree with the vet treating for parasites without testing for them. Most of the meds are pretty harsh on their system, and different meds treat different parasites. I'd insist on having a fecal check done before any meds are given. Chances are that he has the same parasites that Stripe had, but there's no guarantee.

thats exactly what i was thinking too crystal, but wasn't sure.  even too, what if he has stuff stripe didn't have and it goes untreated because she didn't do a test.  well, next poop we have which will probably be in about 3 or 4 days i'll be scooping up!! oh the joys of beardie parenthood!! lol
