my beardie was really sick going on 4 weeks now he had some kind of parasites and/or infection on the belly my best guess the infection was not 100 percent cured when he was first sick back in march he was already sick when i bought him,anyways hes much better now i still have 5 more syringes of metronidazole to give every 2nd day vets orders,hes on the new enclosure 4x2x2 he still won't eat anything today he slept all day when i take him out of the enclosure he runs around a lot he looks healthy he just don't have much of an appetite he also not care for basking at all so if he heats i have to give him a warm bath so he can poop anyone experienced this following up a bad infection?maybe is the meds that is not making him hungry?hes been on this meds for 2 weeks now the first 2 weeks where higher doses the syringe is 1 ml so i was giving him 1 ml now is 0.7 i know this is a strong antibiotics my lizard is not showing any side effects nausea vomiting etc just not much of an appetite and also not care for basking,on this new enclosure is great cool end staying 80 to 84 and hot end 88-92 basking spot 100-102 i could make the cold end cooler by putting a house vent on the door but i think the cool end is fine right now.and of course im using a 34 inch t5 10.0 the only spot not getting uvb is the hide everywhere else he gets at least 30 uvb right in the middle of the enclosure it ranges from 60 to 100 micro wats of uvb.i was thinking of assist feeding but i need to get him to bask first when he does it it takes him like 3 days to poop because he wont bask i have to give him baths at 100f and on the 3rd day he will poop so assist feeding is kind of pointless i do give him calcium water with d3 and once a week a multivitamin so he can stay hydrated.he does like chicken baby food but he wont eat that much 1 syringe full at the most.
