gastrointestinal disease???

[Derrek97]

I read that a sign of this ( ^ ) is stool smeared around vent area? My bearded dragon has a bit of that goin on and wasn't sure if that or he just sat in it (by time I get home to clean it every once in awhile it'll be smeared on the substrate a bit).

He shows none of the other signs of the disease (stools are solid, eating fine, good weight, . Was just wondering about this. It also appears to be peelin' off a bit like shed skin, this doesn't seem to be a characteristic of the disease either.

Again, was just wondering. Panicky guy here :lol: lol

Thanks

I would suggest asking on a bearded dragon forum, not a gecko forum. Probably going to get a better response.

I'd give him a bath and take it off his skin

sometimes they seem to feel the need to "paint". unless it's a lot, or it continues to happen, I wouldn't worry about it since he doesn't show any other signs of a problem.

Sorry about that, I posted it here cuz I was tight with time and already logged on here. And since it was more focused around the disease than the reptile. :biggrin:

Thanks for the quick response though, i'll try that and post on beardie website to see what they think.

Thanks again,
