Skinny and Dehydrated?

[West Coast Jungle]

I've checked for mites but found nothing, and while keeping her on paper towels I found no mites at all. She isn't impacted, she's defecating but the feces seems watery and smells very bad (it stinks up the entire second story of my house!). I'm thinking it's parasites. I've looked closely at her feces to see if I could find any movement in it, but I didn't see anything, though, I'm still going to get a fecal.

On average, what do vets normally charge for a fecal and on average how much would it cost to get a reptile dewormed? The vet visits are $56 I think, so I'm just trying to see what I'm going to pay throughout this entire thing.

It varies from vet to vet and city to city. I have one vet that charged me $150 and another who charged me $30. The cheaper one was a friend of a friend so they didnt charge me a vet visit and didnt even need to see the animal.

How long have you had him/her? By the extra looking skin it reminds me of a female that recently laid and is all streched out. The good part is curing internal parasites is not too difficult with beardies.

She very well may be approaching brumation which will cause her to sleep alot and not be very interested in eating. The only bad part about that is they should have alot of stored fat to live off while sleeping. I have had beardies brumate for over 3 months and as little as 3 weeks. A good soaking is always a good idea.

As far as the poop stinking that is normal with beardies. I have my beardies in a room with 75 snakes and one beardies poop can smell way more then 10 snake poops. The fact that she pooped is good. If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me. I have been keeping and breeding dragons for over 15 years.

Hope you guy is feeling better soon
