Parasites??

[Isa]

Since maybe 2 weeks, Hermy has diarhea, I dont know if the cactus did that but since Hermy ate some cactus, he has diarhea every 2 or 3 days. Everytime, he is constipated for like 10 or 20 minutes, when I see that I put him in his water dish, he stays in there until everything comes out . Poor Hermy, his head goes in his shell like 10-15 times before the diarhea is out. Could it be parasite or just the cactus (the last time he ate cactus was 10 days ago?
I will bring a poo sample to the new vet this week end.

I forgot to tell that Hermy has a very good apetite (he eats like a piglet)

Isa, Hermy probably should not have diarrhea from cactus that he ate 10 days ago. I think it is smart that you are taking a sample of poo to the vet to have it checked. How are his other problems did you take him to the new vet to get checked?

Robyn,
I spoke to the net vet about the brownish urines and she told me that since the vet (the last one) already made a urine culture and a blood test, it is not necessary to make another one right away. The secretary told me to put the poo in the fridge and that I have24 hours to bring it to the vet. The last vet I saw at the other clinic already told me that I had to bring it right away and to not put it in the fridge. Does anyone know which one is right?

Thanks
