Hello,
We have a beardie that finished treatment for pinworms/hookworms and coccidia over 4-5 weeks ago. She was hooked on the syringe feeding happily gobbling down food. Over the last few weeks we weaned her off the syringe feedings and moved her to insects. We've cut off the syringe feeding and can only get her to eat 4-5 small white (freshly molted) superworms. Crickets, hornworms, non-molted supers are all turned down, even if left in the cage so she can hunt. She will take some greens by hands but doesn't appear to be eating them from the bowl (or the insects for that matter). She is losing 0.1-0.3 grams/day and is now at 45 (peaked at 46.8g) during syringe feeding. She is quite stress marked and only seems to be not stress-marked when being held outside of the cage (possibly expecting syringe feeding.) All temps and UV sources are good and the habitat is also top-notch. We've been re-running fecals this whole time and she is still free of all parasites. In addition she keeps getting thick retained sheds on one side of her face that are definately annoying her. Cleaning and gentle scrubbing seems to remove them but they do keep coming back.--Any chance this might be some kind of hypervitaminosis from the carnivore care?
Any chance that she is so very stubborn that the stress is from being hungry which is from stubborness from not being willing to eat anything besides syringe food (even two weeks after syringe food cut-off)?--This is frustrating and it's terrible to see how bad she's doing compared to the other dragon that is now at 71 grams+ and gaining ten a week (who was 10 grams behind her at the beginning of her parasite treatements).
She is ADV-positive but has shown no other classical signs of being sick with those types of symptoms. I guess there is always the possibility this could be a liver or renal issue brought on by the ADV and the parasites/parasite treatments.
