Oh boy so I'm super on edge right now because I just got back from a 6 day trip, checked on Tapioca and found a very green urate inside his hide. It's more like a pine green in person. I will post a photo in a moment.
Should I be alarmed? Could this be a sign of sickness? I've been reading how it's considered normal as long as it's infrequent, and the green is caused by bile, but I'm worried about how it's super green. However I've also seen a minority mention it could be a sign of kigney failure??
Please, can anyone tell me if this is bad or normal? Should I take Tapioca to the vet and/or send a stool sample?
I'm very anxious because I STILL haven't heard back from the vet with Kallari's necropsy result.
Quick context: For those who don't know about this sad news, Kallari has passed away unexpectingly February 1st. The immediate necropsy results were that her heart seemed fairly large for her body, but this could be a result of post moterm.
They also found an obstruction in her lower GI and what they suspect was the cause of her death. Seems she ingested some reptibark. Her organs have been sent to the lab which I am still desperately waiting for the results.
I am terrified if somehow something is also wrong with Tapioca or I'm just being paranoid because of what happened with Kallari? Please give feedback
