Leo has a belly ache today. He hasn't moved much and he isn't eating as much plus he has some really runny poop. Does anyone know a good item to cure are sulcata's belly ache?
He's a ten year old, african spur, male sulcata that is between 116 to a 120 pounds.

Did he eat rocks? Not being silly. I'm just curious cuz my Thor did and those were his symptoms. I found out via an X-ray at the vet. It's been a couple weeks and he still hasn't passed them so he's now at the vet for a 3 day stay, tube feeding to see if they'll pass on their own. Otherwise surgery. Thor is also a sulcata but he's 1 yr & about 6.25"/2lbs.

No, we make sure of that, and I know its not to much sugar from fruit because we give it to him once or twice a week as a treat. We watch him every day from when he wakes up to when he goes to bed(so from 2 to about 7:40) and he's never eaten rocks. He has eaten poop but thats his own so...... He also eats hay and alfafa along with a healthy diet of vegetables.

I hope he feels better real soon. I know how hard it is watching our lil guys not feeling well. I'll leave the rest of the answers/advice to the pros on the forum. In the meantime ill be hoping he gets to feeling better very soon.
