[QUOTE="Claire87, post: 2033823, member: 118242"] Back in July my bearded dragon was diagnosed with parasites and so he was put on meds and after he finished them had a retest and everything came back normal. Well while he was on medication he had no appetite and I had to syringe feed him. My vet has been making weekly calls since around september to keep up on his progress. Also in September I took him back to the vet due to him still not eating and they did x-rays and found nothing wrong and also did another fecal which was negative. About 2 weeks ago I tried to syringe feed him less to see if that would encourage him to try eating on his own but nothing. Now I have been trying to open his mouth and put some greens in there but he just spits them right back out. I tried offering all kinds of different bugs and just today tried hornworms which used to be his all time favorite, and nothing, wouldn’t even acknowledge them. I don’t know what to do anymore, I feel like he is just waiting for me to bring the syringe back out so that he can be hand fed. I don’t mind syringe feeding him but for the amount of time I have been and what little it has done to get him eating on his own I don’t want to continue to encourage it (he is more than happy to eat from the syringe). I don’t know if he is just being stubborn/lazy or what. Has anyone else gone through something similar with their beardies or have any recommendations on what else I can do? [/QUOTE]
