BEARDIE URATE STILL REDDISH IN COLOR AFTER ANTIBIOTICS

My bearded dragon pooped and his urate was kinda reddish in color. So I took the poop to the vet for a fecal and my bearded dragon was diagnosed with the parasite flagellates. They put him on 3.5 ml (I think it's in ml) of flagyl for 10 days. I give him the medicine every day at the exact time. He had been on it for 8 days and he pooped on the 8th day and his urate was still reddish in color and he also pooped out this yellow liquid (it looked like human pee) not sure if it's from the antibiotic or not. However, I'm mostly worried that his urate was still reddish in color after 8 days of antibiotics. What should I do from here?

I would offer him extra hydration. Drop some water on his nose and let him lick it up or put him in a bath and let him drink from it. I would also provide some probiotics like bene-bac or acidophiliz+ to help restore his system to a normal healthy state.

I have been giving him a pinch of crushed up human probiotics. I am waiting for the aphodophiliz to arrive in the mail. Does his urate look like anything I should be concerned about?

It doesn't look too bad to me but it's hard to tell other than it looks a little runny and slightly off color. I'd see how things go with the hydration and probiotics.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
