    hi

    I recently got an albino gecko.
    she hasn't eaten since I got her, almost 2 weeks ago.
    but the last 2 days she has passed a grey, green watery faeces..
    can anyone advise would this be a possible parasite, or could it be just stress..
    also I have booked the gilabbey vet for tomorrow, but the lady on the phone said we were seeing someone who has an interest in exotic animals, which didn't instil much confidence in the vet...

    so just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this. please

    Possible parasite or bacteria according to this site and recommend to bring in stool sample as well.

    I'm assuming they mean a vet who would have experience without the dog/cat sector. One of their vets does a lot of work at Fota.

    the vet in gilabbey that specialises in reptiles, and works in fota is off until next week.

    she hasn't eaten yet tonight. but I have left her, her mealworms.
    I have also given her a tiny dose of parazole which is safe enough and will hopefully rid her of possible pinworms.

    I have weighed her now too...so will monitor that.
    she isn't lethargic, and is sleeping and controlling her temperature, moving around quite happily.
    I will cancel my appointment for tomorrow, and wait until the reptile guy is back. I don't want anyone guessing if I am paying them.

    thank you
