Is this vomit or poo?

[Anthon]

She ate fuzzys on monday and today she made this.

[Stefan-A]

Sorry, I have no idea.

Have you done anything differently this time?



This is going to sound weird, but what does it smell like? Rotten (literally) or poo?

[crzy_kevo]

its been 3 days it should be poo but doesn;t really look like any poo i have seen but then again i havn't seen fuzzy poo

[Anthon]

It smells ugly, dunno what. Should I taste it, too?

I haven't done anything differently, except this is her first fuzzymeal for a long time. I just came to home from vet because my ball python has parasites (bill: 100e), I'll kill mysel if this girl has them too.

By the way there was two of these droppings.

Anthon, I would put a call into the vet and ask if he will prescribe the same meds for this girl as he did for your ball. I'd say with this "coincidence" it can't hurt to medicate both snakes. Hopefully he'll do this without you taking this snake in and without the fee for the office visit. Some in the US will, some won't.

[Stefan-A]

I guess it could be either. If it's vomit, then it could smell like rotting flesh.

Mind you I'm no specialist.

[Lori P]

Yeah. Regurged mice have a truly-- er-- unique odor. If it smells like decay, I'd go with a regurge. But, to be sure, you could also run the sample to your vet and they could test for parasites if it is fecal.

[Anthon]

Well, I didn't save that sample.

Anyway the thing is so that even my ball python get medicines, I'll bring her fecal sample to a local lab maybe after a month. Just to make sure. My vet didn't investigate her poo, just gave the anthelminitic immediatly (mix of two anthelminitcs, didn't ask what they are.) and now I've been reading about, for example, coccidias, and they need some special treatment (sulfadimethoxine) to die. Dunno if the mixture my vet gave to my python includes that or if my python could even have them. I just heard about similar situation (a ball vomited a bunch of tapeworms) and there was coccideas in that python, too.

So maybe I'll bring my garters fecal at the same time.

By the way I know my english sucks and my texts look probably pretty comic.
