Egg Yolk looking discharge ??

[pryncesssc]

So today I brought Kala home and first soaked her in warm water because her skin looked flaky then i put her in the tank and she basked a while. She ate a strawberry, then she drank water for about 10 min straight (she must have been dehydrated) and then I noticed some egg yolky type of discharge on the substrate near her cloaca .. She is taking Panacur for intestinal parasites so could it be from that ???

I think some could be from Rx, but, I know my Russians discharge white urates, which is normal for them.

So you think it may just be urates rather than from the parasites/medication ?

I thought urates were white, not yolky (yellow) color. I would venture to guess it is what the vet tech said. Just keep a close eye. If it continues too long after the meds had been stopped, or something else not right pops up, then you might want to check back with the vets. Don't forget to post some pics of her in her new home.

I very occasionally get yellow yolk-looking urates from one of my females and thought it was a ruptured egg the first time I noticed it. I will try to take a pic whenever it happens again. I wouldn't worry. And Panacur is white...no?

I would trust the vet tech, especially if she/he has experience with torts. If it doesn't go away, then I would start asking around further.

Yes the panacur is a white liquid , that's why my first guess was the meds ...
