Re: [gecko]Foul smelling feces - Leopard gecko

[Paul]

Julie and company,       It is foul smelling, got the whole place stinking, tommorrow I am taking a pile of it to the vet for fecals. We Got one the male 3 weeks ago and from day one the poo was wet, but not what I would call runny, the two females from the same breeder were recived 2 weeks ago, one female was a replacement for a DOA the other was an addition the he/she graciacily added very last minute. One of two females has light green poo didnt see the source.     The reason I have yet to post the breeder anywhere is I like the guy and he/she has given me no reason to smear his name, once I get a positive from the vet I will be contacting him/her. How ever it is irksome that the leo I got from of all places Petsmart was happy healthy and tame.      The 3 purchased from the breeder are in the same tank, My petsmart is alone now was with the other 3, as well as my two petco juivies are seperated.     An additional question, If all 3 are positive and being medicated at the same time will it be detrimental to have them in the same tank?  I will be placing them on papertowels as soon as i get the meds.   Thank you Julie ----- Original Message ----- From: Julie Bergman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 07, 2004 5:30 PM Subject: Re: [gecko]Foul smelling feces - Leopard gecko Hi Paul, Paul wrote: Hello all,       Recently my Leo recently purchesed from a breeder has wet not runny feces that smells like Horrible Breath. Is this a sure sign of a parasite? If you do know from previous experience what their poop is supposed to look like, yes. Runny feces are a sign of some kind of stress, possibly a parasite. Color is important as well, sick guys tend to have green, runny bad smelling poop. Was already planning on a fecal exam, but was waiting till all of them were eating, new home and all. How long have you had them? Were they all from the same source? How many are together? A decent breeder would want to help you with this situation also, so be sure to let them know what is going on. I'm sure they would want to know if your leos tested positive for parasites so they could take care of the geckos on their end as well. You may already know this, however, incase you don't, leos with health issues should be kept on paper towels.   Thanks for any help Paul   PS - is there an archive for the list?
