Vomit

Postby Lovemedo2012 » Thu Mar 31, 2011 11:43 pm

When I woke up this morning there was vomit and excrement all over my skink's cage. He also hasn't pooped in a few days. I got him about two weeks ago and he is four years old. He also just finished shedding. This week I've fed him apples, bananas and a scrambled egg. Should I take him to the vet?

Are you sure it was vomit and not just a very runny poo. this can deffinitely be an outcome from feeding egg although they do love it so. If everything else is fine with him, then you could see if it happens again. Reptiles will quite often vomit when inadequite temperature is offered but can also be due to a endo parasite usually a protazoan, which you would probably need to see a vet to have that tested for and treated.

I would definitely take him to the vet.
