VERY bad smelling #2

[Overkill]

well something hit me today while working on the tanks other then the smell

my male's tank never smells and hes the poop monster yet me female (the sick one) really really stinks up the tank

DO u think this might be related to her sickness should i tell the vet which might give us something to do or try ? Any one have ideas

Have you taken her to the vet? If she is sick, she more than likely has parasites, especially if her fecal matter smells really bad. That is a huge indicator of parasites.

I've never heard of taking fecal sample out of the geckos body. You would have to wait for the gecko to poop. I don't think the vet did fecals, he might have done blood work. I'm not sure if blood work will show signs of parasites.

I might be wrong on this but i believe in the case of not being able to obtain a fecal sample or for other reasons-they can insert a swab and get a smear and test that

Someone please correct me if I am wrong
