Hi Everyone!
I have a bearded dragon who is about a year old. In May of this year, he randomly got sick (vomited, had diarrhea, wasn't eating) and I took him to the vet. The vet was unsure what he had, but suspected it could be atadenovirus. He was tested and his results came back negative. He got better for about a month, but never really acted the same after he was sick.
About 2 months ago he started not eating again to the point he started losing weight. I have been syringe feeding him supplements since then because he refuses to eat. Maybe once every two weeks he will eat 1 superworm, but that is absolutely it. All he wants to do is lounge/sleep 24/7 and has zero interest in food. My dad (who is also a vet) has given him multiple vitamin B injections to stimulate his appetite, but they have not worked very well.
I have no idea what to do! I would really like him to start eating on his own again. Can anyone offer any advice on how to stimulate a beardie's appetite?
