Hello !! Please, take them to the vet, it may be ECE, I
just had 2 fuzzies pass on last week with this disease and
from what you are saying it sounds like it could be ECE.
The stool will look almost bright green in color, and the
loose stool is a definate sign even if it isn't ECE. They
may get dehydrated. Feed them duck soup, get some
electrolytes into their water and watch them carefully.
Best wishes, Michele

Okey, now I know ya'll are gonna think I got the most
fallin apart fert on the list, but I swear we dont abuse
him or anything! *laughs* he just keeps having weird stuff
happen to him. I let the two out to play tonight and then
when I was putting them back in their cage for sleepy
time, I noticed Faoli was squinting at me with one eye,
it'd be open for a few seconds and then itd shut again,
and it was watering, kinda like it got scratched or
something, but when i took a closer look I could find no
scratch marks or anything around his eye, It LOOKS like
the other one does on the outside, except its all red on
the part where it should be white, like its aggitated.
Should I take him to the vet or just wash his eyes out
with water, or what? Poor thing, he's had a rough couple
of weeks!
Plus I wanted to ask, after he reacted to the booster, he
you know puked and had the squirts, and now he seems ALOT
thinner than he was, and whenever he goes to the potty its
really soft and kinda slimey like and it makes a pooping
noise when it comes out like its watery or something. I
was thinking about giving him some gerber chicken to
fatten him back up, but he's eating his regular mazuri
just fine, so I dont want to confuse him. Please help
again, thanks so much guys...
*shaking her head in disbelief*

and da fuzzy powers that be!
