Bad poop

[IHaveNoIdea]

Hey my 1yo gecko hasn't been eating properly for more than a week and today she pooped this stuff. There is a lot of liquid too (but there always is when it comes to her). Is she okay? I thought that the reason she is not eating is a brumation. She was really stressed today too, I was cleaning her terrarium and when I put her back, she was crawling all over the place for hours, like she didn't recognize the place.

I don't know whether your 1 yo leo is OK.

The poop you have circled is very unusual in color and consistency. Are both leos' urates usually yellow?

Can you bring a fecal sample to a vet?

Recently one of my geckos (not a leo) was having mushy poops. I thought something could be wrong. I noticed the temperatures were a little high. I reduced the temperatures and the feces returned to normal. (but not before I took a fecal sample to a vet) This vet found no parasites.

The leo (Spanky) I got at home has stopped eating at the same time this gecko did. Not sure about Spanky's poop, I would have to ask my parents to check.
Both leos (all three of them actually) usually have a normal poop. Even the previous one of this gecko was ok.
Lizard vets are really uncommon here. Plus super expensive, can't afford it now. I'll try to get some wax worms to make her eat something and we will see about the next poop.

Perhaps there are dog and cat vets who would run a fecal without seeing your leo?

My herp vet would not run a fecal without having seen my gecko. Ultimately she did a fecal float. She's new to me and an excellent exotics vet!

I massaged my gecko's head and body. She then produced feces quite soon. :coverlaugh:

Not sure, might help to make some calls.
I think that massage of her belly would help if she was impacted a bit. But I guess she doesn't have anything to poop when she doesn't eat.

So, Plomo pooped like 2 days ago after not eating for about 2 weeks. Pooped looked very normal, just the poo was a bit on a greenish side. And yesterday she ate about 20 mealworms, so I guess she is ok. I don't know why she does this :roll:

Feces are usually dark brown. The liquid is urine.

Were Plomo's urates pure white? No mucus like the last poop?

Urate was white, no mucus. Pooped again I think yesterday, normal poop.

Yesterday she ate about 15 mealies and today she is 86g (22,5cm). So, considering the weight of the worms, she might have lost a few grams. No biggie though. I'll try to avoid feeding her worms, but I ran out of roaches :roll:
Edit.: Btw, I just had my father measure Mrs. Spanky and she is now 26cm long :shock:
