My ball, Sudan, who is three years old, male, had been staying in his hidey all week.
He was due to eat tonight but when I went in to feed him, I saw a shed outside the entrance
to his hidey. He has a round hat box that he loves to curl up in.
He had gone poop and pee since he was fed about a week ago. When I took the shed out
I saw some blood on the shed where his poop/pee comes out. Is that called the cloaca?
It wasn't alot.
But I did notice that he had shed all but the end of his tail and his head.
As some of you know, I have had problems with him since I got him several months ago.
His eye caps have never come off and his old owner said she had them removed once by a vet
but that they wouldn't come off again after that.
He shed once right after I first got him. Caps didn't come off and I sauna'd and soaked him but they just wouldn't come off. He is very head shy due to this, I think.
Well, I took him out of his sauna after about 45 minutes and was drying him off with a towel when he all of a sudden let out a HUGE amount of poop and some pee that fell to the floor. One piece of poop was about 5 inches long, another small piece was about 2 inches and the white/pee cube had a small string like thing attached to it.
I looked at his "cloaca" and there was some blood there so I wiped him off carefully and then I saw that his eye caps looked like some had come off but that there were still at least one or two on both eyes.
I am going to try the mineral oil on the eyeballs as soon as I can get to the store
BUT my main concern is that could the bleeding be from straining to poop????
What should I do?
Should I feed him or wait awhile?
I have no good herp vet around here so I am going to have to go this alone and with all of your advice.
Thanks,
