Super slimy as in doesn't dry fairly quickly? Do you have access to an affordable vet you can get a fecal done at? I would be concerned about parasites too. Unfortunately, the way they are housed and shipped at places like petco, parasites can be very common. It could just be the overall stress of being there, and being moved around constantly. But I think the fecal would be a good idea. A good number of common parasites can be treated fairly safely with panacur, but it would be best to find out what you are treating first.
yea, i am convinced its parasites, especially with how skinny the male is and the female is not. he may have them, but she may not and may possibly get them. ive been trying to find a vet to do fecals for years, but the only place is the blair animal hospital which charges close to $200 a visit, even if they dont do anything. so if i get the male a fecal, id have to get the female one as well...
