That sounds like maybe she should see a vet - it doesn't sound like just water getting under some stuck shed. Bathing sometimes makes them poop or pee because dumping the ballast or deterring predators is a flight response, not because it makes them suddenly produce urates or feces that weren't already there.Originally Posted by Spoons
I did notice after soaking - not before - she now has a fluid pouch under her skin. Doesn't seem to bother her. I can poke it amd swish the fluid around. Her last third of her body also seems softer amd swollen/squishy down to her vent. but that could be sausage butt too. I know soaking can make them poop. You can see the fluid pocket in the pic that is of her back on the left side- water getting between layers of shed? Under skin? Not sure there. \
Glad to hear she seems stronger though.
