When I gave Spiky a warm bath today she made a very diarrhea looking stool with what looked like blood. She did this twice during her bath.
Currently I am cleaning her cage really well before I put her back in it and I will call the vet tomorrow.
In the mean time what can I do? I feel like a really bad owner because I know that I haven't given her the care she needs lately because I am in the middle of transferring colleges and finding a new place to live but I know that is not an excuse.
How do I get a fecal sample from her while she is sick?
Should I line her tank with paper towels while she is sick?
What can and can't I feed her while she is sick?
Info On Her Tank/Food:
Substrate: Slate Tile
Heating: Under-tank heating mat and basking bulb
Veggies: dandelion greens, cactus pad leaf, collard greens, mustard greens
(my step dad feeds her lettuce from our yard even though I tell him not to)
Live Food: crickets and mealworms, sometimes wax worms and super worms
Fruit: (fruit is only fed as a treat) bananas, strawberries, papaya
Supplements: calcium w/ D3 powder, Calcium w/o D3 powder, Bearded dragon vitamins powder, spray-on calcium for veggies
Warm bath: 1-2 times a week
If you need any other information to help me, please tell me
