Atadenovirus or fatty liver? Please help!

As mentioned adult dragons can eat much much less than babies and be healthy.

I know it's frustrating and constantly being at the vet with. No good answers sucks but no one on this board can diagnose your dragon. We can give guesses and suggestions based on experience...but you need to work with a good vet to run and interpret diagnostics. To rule out ADV you need the test. To monitor liver health you need the tests. A bacterial infection I think should have shown on the blood tests (white cell count). If your vet doesn't seem like they are a good one get your records and take them to another vet for second opinion. Unfortunately most disease in dragons can't be confirmed by physical inspection without tests.

Hello all, I'm taking my little guy in to see another vet who has a ton of experience with reptiles. He will be seen tomorrow afternoon. He is still just as active as he has ever been but he doesn't seem to want to eat. Although he does like the squash baby food I bought today. How much of that should I be feeding him?

Hello,

How is your boy doing today? Is his beard normal color or black?
I hope you are able to get a copy of the blood test, that would be nice to see.
Will he not eat on his own, or take food willingly from a syringe? You can try getting a syringe & putting it in through the side of his mouth, to decrease chances of him aspirating fluids. That's great he likes the squash baby food.
Is he maintaining or losing weight? You can give several mls of food daily if you feel he needs extra food.
I will send a PM regarding testing for adeno.
Let us know how he is doing.
