My uromastyx is twitching and has bloody discharge. Is he sick?

Question

My male uromastyx (lizard) is acting very strange he keeps twitching his and whole body, and his bodily fluids has what seems like blood not in his poop(not that I’ve seen) but when ever he passes this chalky paste it has some “blood” in it and I’m extremely worried about him because he’s my therapy animal and I can’t loose my baby boy.

If you don’t want to lose him then I suggest you get him to your veterinarian for an exam. Any abnormal behavior should be taken seriously. Muscle twitching can be a sign of metabolic bone disease. The blood may be related to intestinal parasites or kidney/liver disease. There is no way for us to give you a diagnosis via the Internet. Please take him to your vet.
