Hello everyone I am new to this group. It's going to be a long post but my baby is really sick and needs y'all's help.
So the Tuesday after Easter my friend who cleans apartments across the street from me called me and said there was a lizard in a tank in a closet of an apartment she was cleaning and the people that was leaving there had left the following Wednesday so he had been in this closet for 6 days. It was dark there was no food no water nothing but a 10 gallon tank with paper towels and a rock. On the tank was 3 month old male breaded dragon on neon green. So I took the little guy home and slowly have him some super worms and water. I went to the pet store and bought a basking light. That's was all I had money for at the time. By Tuesday of the following week I took him to the vet because he wouldn't eat. The vet said he was fine just needed the adjustment period. So I gave him baths every other day. He would eat 5 roaches a day. Then he got to where he wasn't eating at all. So I went to a 2nd vet and she said he only weighed 34 grams. He also had coccida and pinworms. So she gave me some meds. I went and bought some things for his tank and a T5 Hood with the reptisun 10.0 bulb. Finished the treatment went back and the vet said everything was all clear. So a week goes by I have had him for over a month at this point we go back and she gives me the all clear still. So another week goes by Still not eating I decided it was time for a 3rd vet. So went and got him check he still weighed 35 grams( not a typo) the vet said he has coccidia pinworms giardia and some other unknown flagellant all level 4s. He also said his muscles and bones were very week so he was giving a shot for calcium a shot of b12 and sub fluids. Oral meds wise he was on a treatment of metronidazole and panacure for 3 days along side a liquid calcium. I started force feeding him oxbow carnivore care , benebac and a green smoothie that I added bsfl. 3 weeks later we go back he still weights 34 grams all parasites are gone and his muscle mass has improved drastically. His bones are even stronger. But he still has level 2 giardia. so we did another dose of the same meds and vet said come back in 3 weeks well that was this past Wednesday poor guy lost 4 grams so now he was only 30 grams but his still no other parasites except for a tad bit of giardia still but still not eating on his own. So the vet wanted me to try the AD dog food which I would mix with 75% water . After talking to a few people I mostly decided against this due to the risk of gout. So now he is on Albion and panacure. The vet said he may have an infection we can't see due to him being to small to take blood which is why he is on the Albion. So I need any and all advice I can get. What am I missing what am I doing wrong?
