She said it looked like there was an infection in his mouth. She didn't offer any further testing except for me to drop off a fecal , which I will.So they gave an antibiotic w/ out finding out if there was an actual infection? I suggest getting the oxbow critical care omnivore - found on Amazon - it's often given for dragons not eating - especially when they are sick - I am flagging post to Tracie

Ok good- this stuff is good but it's thick so you will need to water it down - how is he eating the repashy?She said it looked like there was an infection in his mouth. She didn't offer any further testing except for me to drop off a fecal , which I will.
I already ordered the oxbow
I'm suringe feeding it. He won't eat on his own. He will lick of his lips sometimes though.Ok good- this stuff is good but it's thick so you will need to water it down - how is he eating the repashy?
The oxbow or the repashy? And I would say no feed 3 times a day .5mls- go slow water it down especially in a syringe your gonna haft to cut / snip the end of it so it's a wider hole- just go slow let him swallow what you put in before giving more you don't want him to aspirate - watch his poops they will tell you if he's dehydrated - they should be dark formed and moist- the urate white formed and moist- any chalky or dried out looking he's dehydratedI'm suringe feeding it.

She said to feed .5 mls, only every other day. Does that sound right?
OK, that sounds more like what I've been doing. What she said seemed too little. I'm feeling like I went to a not so great vet, though they had hood reviews.The oxbow or the repashy?

Ok so he is hydrated them-- let's see if the 2 others can help you as well- do you have a ceramic heat emitter?OK, that sounds more like what I've been doing. What she said seemed too little. I'm feeling like I went to a not so great vet, though they had hood reviews.
For now the repashy, until the ixbow comes.
His poops have sometimes been formed sometimes not. They aren't dark, they are the color of his food which is a medium brown and there's white urate.
I don't. Enclosure stays around 70 at night, is that too cold?Ok so he is hydrated them-- let's see if the 2 others can help you as well- do you have a ceramic heat emitter?
With him not being well get a che or get a heating pad place in tank put a dish towel etc over it -set it on low--- see if you can get the ambient temps to around 80I don't. Enclosure stays around 70 at night, is that too cold?
We do have a heating pad we're not using so I'll try that.With him not being well get a che or get a heating pad place in tank put a dish towel etc over it -set it on low--- see if you can get the ambient temps to around 80
The one we have us a zoomed under tank heating mat. I do worry about him overheating though because he isn't really moving very much at all.Be careful with the heating pad, some get really hotand breadies won't always move off them. I buy the cheap 20 dollar ones from Family Dollar. They don't get all that hot (as long as you don't fold them onto their selves) and they don't shut off automatically so you don't have to keep turning them back on.
