Discharge

[Jessikah]

I Have Looked At Passed Posts And Cant Find Anything.
My Leo Is About 7 Months Old Now, And Is In A Cage On His Own.

I Think He May Have Parasites, But Wants To Make Sure.

The Problem Is, There Is A Discharge Sometimes That Comes Out Of His Privates, It Is White And Soft I Spose.
Not Being Rude But I Cant Think Of Another Way To Explain It, But Looks Like A Lump Of Sperm......

He Kind Of Lifts He Tail Up And Pushes It Out, Then Licks It Away, But He Kind Of Sqeals As If He Is In Pain, Its Loud Enough To Grab Your Attention, But He Is Ok When He Goes To Wee Or Poo.
Hes Put On Weight Recently And Is Eating Less Than He Normally Does, But I Guessed Thats Because It Has Got Colder.
Put On Weight And Eating Less, I Know It Does Not Make Sense!

I Have Another Male Leo And He Seems Fine.

Does This Sound Like Parasites?
I Am Going To Book A Appointment In The Vets Tomorow, But Wondering If I Should Take A Poo Sample, To Save The Vets Keeping Him In To Wait For Him To Poo. So Its Ok To Put The Poo In A Tub? Nothing Else, Does It Matter If The Poo Is Couple Days Old?

Sounds like it might just be urates. But perhaps he's passing some sand or something as well. What type of substrate do you have him on? What do you feed him? Could be excess undigested mealworm exoskeleton. What are his temps? It's hard to say without actually seeing it . Never hurts to go in for a fecal exam. Yes, save some poop to take in with you. A plastic baggy is fine. Store it in the fridge. Get the freshest sample that you can. But if a couple days old is the best you can do, it's better than nothing.

Whats Urates?
Both My Males Are On Fine Sand, They Have Always Been On It, But Next Time I Clean Them Out They Will Be On Paper Towel.
I Feed Him Black Crickets, Mealworm And Wax Worm When Needed Or As A Treat.
Clean Water And Always Topped Up.
He Has A UTH, Without Thermostat, Heat Lamp With Thermostat, It Gets To 32, And Then The Thormostat Cuts The Heat Lamp Out And Gets To About 24 At Night.
I Need To Get Another Temperature Clock Thing For The Cool Side Again, Last One Broke.

Last Week, He Had A Poo, But The Poo Had A Kind Of 'Bubble' In It If That Makes Sence?
It Had The Poo And The Wee, And There Was This Kind Of Clear Bubble Sticking Out The Side Of It, Which Im Convinced Thats Not Normal?

Whats Urates?

Another way of saying pee.

Just A Update, I Took Him To The Vets And Gave The Vet Poo To Test, And He Is Clear Of Parasites, Apperently It Is Common In Bearded Dragons.
So Do You Just Think Its Wee? But He Does Not Go To His Corner Or Anything And Just Licks It Clean Again?
