poop question.

[zeion97]

So.. the title should say it all.. this poop question involves two snakes. Both used the same antibiotic, which with some Google searching I read other threads were the antibiotics cause this and it will pass after some time. The picture below is from my Burmese some time in the last dew hours while I was at work.



Now, our pastel also.had this same looking poop except it was in smaller crystals and there were 5. Now it may be urine but I assumed it was poop..if so I'm sorry. The antibiotic that they're on is gentamicin sulfate ophthalmic solution USP,O.3%(sterile)

Thanks in advanced everyone

Hi. I don't have any experience with that antibiotic, but I have seen similar feces from snakes that were dehydrated (maybe a side effect of the antibiotics?). As long as the snakes in question don't appear to be having any difficulties pooping, I wouldn't worry about it.

Abos are notorious for wreaking havoc on the kidneys. Be sure you're doing soaks for both the animals on them, daily water temp 88.f.

It looks like the urates that my ball passed while she was on antibiotics. I just soaked her and she was fine.

Thanka everyone for the replies. I couldn't get my started threads to open so I apologize for the late. A quick update, both snakes are doing quite well, the Burmese has defecated twice and both were normal. And also had a perfect shed. our pastel Is still on antibiotics which I really hope they are doing more good then bad, but after eating 2 weeks ago also had a food "defection" (Sp?) Thanks you for the replies! And I apologize for the late reply and thanks.
