smear-y urates??

[breanna-banana13]

my little male is a normal healthy eater, normal poops etc. but lately his urates have been smear-y or even like little balls but never one solid form. the brown part of the poos are formed like normal and his vent is clean. is this normal or signs of a problem?? parasites??

I had a friend who raises geckos tell me that smeary feces can indicate a parasite infestation. I would definitely try to get her leavings tested for parasites if her urates look like that. Just take a sample in to your favorite vet and they should be able to get it tested for you. It shouldn't cost that much. Good luck!

It could be a parasite but if it goes back to normal or is more wet one time and then normal the next I would not worry to much, as long as she is eating and still remaining active then it may be something that stressed her or if she is drinking more fluid that could do it as well.
