Weird poop/liquid

[Patti]

Hey everyone,

I posted a little over a week ago asking about a possible impaction. I mentioned in the post that my sister’s beardie was excreting pools of liquid. The ball is still in his stomach, and there seems to be other smaller balls now too. I’m thinking it has to be his organs cos none of the laxatives I used were helping pass it or make it any smaller. I googled enlarged organs I cannot find anything at all about it. I mentioned before that this isn’t my beardie and I cannot afford to take him to the vet, and neither can his owners as they just recently had a baby. He was neglected before I came here, and this week he has been eating collard greens and one strawberry a few days ago.

His was his poop today...

As you can see here there is a large puddle of liquid. The liquid is green. Uhh... is this normal? I’m worried about him. Worried about liver disease or parasites. Any one here deal with that before that could help me out? They want to get rid of him but the pet store will only take a healthy dragon. Not sure if they would accept him with all the lumps in his tummy. Any help would be appreciated.

Wondering if his food isn’t getting digested properly as they don’t have any source of UVB lighting for him. Actually makes a lot of sense to me now.

The pool of liquid just means he's very well hydrated. The poop itself should be formed though. Lighting could be an issue. They need to make sure the temp in the basking spot is 107 for babies and juvie's and around 98-100 for 18months + UVB should be a 10.0 tube bulb or a 12% Arcadia tube bulb. The proper UVB provides D3 and the high basking temperatures help the body synthesize D3 to Calcium. The high basking temp helps the body digest food. Make sure they are giving the dragon at least 2 hours to bask before the lights go out for the night. Like I said in one of your other posts. If the dragon is pooping, it's not impacted. The lump is either an organ, or a rib or could even be a cyst or tumor.
