My lizard hasn't pooped in a week and seems bloated. What's wrong?
[]
Answer
A lizard not defecating for a week along with bloat is a serious concern. This could indicate impaction, often caused by improper diet, substrate ingestion, dehydration, or an underlying medical condition. Without proper gut motility, their health can rapidly decline. It's crucial to seek immediate veterinary attention from a reptile-experienced vet. Do not attempt to force feed or administer enemas at home without professional guidance. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
