Hello,
My bearded dragon José is 5 years old. He has stopped eating entirely for quite a few months now. I have taken him to the vet many times-was treated for parasites and got an X-ray showing his liver is very enlarged. We thought maybe he wasn’t eating bc of his parasites, but they have been treated with prescription medicine and he still is not eating. He has lost lots of weight. You can see his spine, bone in his tail, sunken fat pads, etc. he has always been skinny and a picky eater, but this is another level and I don’t know what to do for him. The only thing he wants to do is sleep or curl up in a corner.
I feed him repashy beardie buffet and flukers reptaboost with a syringe once a day (5-6ml warm water with 3 scoops each. Scoop included with flukers reptaboost). He poops pretty frequently even though they are small. I give him baths a couple times during the week and a couple with an electrolyte soak. At this point I am wondering if he is just sick with his liver being very enlarged and all. I don’t know what to do at this point and I hate seeing my little guy so skinny and sad
Any advice or knowledge is very much appreciated. I just want him to get better
