Does this poop look okay?

[Ethen44]

Not the best picture. The top of the Urate is orange and blotchy...It's not blood, but I was still concerned. If necessary I will provide the health care sheet, but I was more so trying to define this as a problem before we go about trying to figure out the cause. After he "shat", he had a stringy piece of poo hanging from his bum. Also, below the Urate (the condensed brown/black piece) had a jelly like film around it? All seemed very strange. Does anyone have any prognosis as to what this might mean?

I'm "hoping" he is just dehydrated, and it's not parasitic :/ I'll give him a shower and water him more frequently in the next few weeks, hopefully that will do it.

Does anyone know if there is a parasite that makes the Urate orange? I'm aware that it is a common side effect of dehydration, but what possible parasites could have the same "orange urate" side effect?

The reason I doubt the possibility of dehydration is that he drinks often, gets misted minimally of 3 times a day, and his defecate isn't dry. It isn't runny by any means, it just has a jelly membrane at the base of the Urate. I'm currently searching for vets that I could take a sample to, but no luck yet :/

I can't help on the poop except to say it looks a bit odd. I would be able to make a couple of guess but they would be just that. Where do you live? maybe we can help you find a vet at least.
