This Isn't What It Looks Like, Right?? (I hope!) Poop Pic--WEIRD

Bacon? Nope, I keep that for me, LOL. I'll keep an eye out for more weird stuff. I know it was his because he has a roost shelf, which I cleaned this morning, and he was standing right there, trying to beg grapes off me. Right after he got down, I saw that.

I'm not sure what that is, but I would Worm Him. Im sure you already know but I would go with the invermectin. If i saw a worm which this could be, i would give him and injection. Or the pour on works good too, ive used both

To me it looks like maybe he ate something, like a frog or mouse in the yard, and didnt digest everything. You know chickens they will eat ANYTHING LOL!

What kind of Ivermectin? The 1% for cattle?
And do you give it by mouth?

Hey Cyn
That sure looks like something that he would have eaten that didn't get digested in his system. It almost looks like frog skin if you can get past the color of it. I would certainly watch him but I think this might be a once and done thing especially if he is acting fine.

Let Me Check...
For the injectable it is Ivomec(ivermectin) Injection for cattle and swine. 1% sterile solution. The price is 47.99 for 50ml. "A parasaiticide for the treatment or internal and external parasites of cattle and swine.
To inject, give subcutaneously as follows: Little bantams (rosecombs, golden seabrights: 0.5cc. Brahmas, Silkies, Orpingtons: 1.0 cc. Standards: 1.5 cc. Jersey Giants: 2cc) I copied this from BYC but its the same as my records. I just give 1 cc for my bantams. Suede would probably need 1.5. You can also do it orally or inject whatever you prefer. Some people do it in the water but i wouldnt because you never really know how much they got.
I also rub this on there feet if i have SLM

The pour on is 24.99 for a 250ml bottle and is "5 mg of invermectin per ml". Off the top of my head i believe for a big guy like suede it would be 6-8 drops. For my Bantam i do 3-4. and a serema or OEGB would be 2. But dont worry if you do an extra drop, sometimes its hard to count just try not to do it often.

How big is it? There is nothing to judge its scale by.

Looks to me like meat and sort of a vertibra perhaps he got a tasty lizard and didnt digest it all the way I agree with above poster theres no real way to judge the size. But unless you find more I would suggest he snuck behind your back and found his own treat.
