Tummy aches

[Rune]

Can chams have tummy aches?

Haha, good question! I don't see why not. That might be why they eat dirt, kind of like when dogs eat grass.

Well they have tummies, right? Impaction, constipation, egg-binding, dodgy curry, any of the above is going to cause a cham abdominal discomfort, lol

Ah gosh, always the curry. Every time! You'd think we'd learn. But Daedalus is such a pig, he just can't live without his yellow curry and naan. Tisk.

Don't see why not, every animal including humans can eat stuff that upsets our tummies

I have seen my cham have diaherra(big runny poop with large urine)twice, months apart... He is perfectly healthy and its only happened twice within about 5 months. Im guessing he has a little tummy ache?

Tisk indeed. They really are so like us, aren't they?

Sounds like it, but impaction always feels worse than runnyness to me, unless there's a lot of hot sauce lol so he probably doesn't feel too bad........any change in feeders/ gutload at the time of diarrhea? I think I read somewhere that a lot of lettuce can cause it......? Either way, twice in a few months is not something to worry about, just keep an eye on, as usual.

Might want to get a stool float just to be on the safe side
