My iguana is very thin and has white stools. What could be wrong?

Question

My iguana is very thin and is having white stools. Is everything okay with her??

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

Without a physical exam, it is difficult to determine if she is "okay". Normal iguana feces is composed of a fecal pellet, which is brown to black, and the urates which are usually liquid but sometimes white as well. You can submit a sample of stool to diagnose intestinal parasites.If she is abnormally thin, this could be a cause. Have her examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles to diagnose illness or injury. Review her diet and environmental parameters with the vet to confirm proper care and feeding.
