Critical Care or AcidophiLiz+ ?

[stinkysmommy]

Hey guys! Stink eats only bugs and berries now and his little sister Bean refuses to eat anything at all. Neither of them are pooping regularly; however, I've just paid off Stink's vet bill though so I'm finally at a place where I can buy them some appetite enhancement so that while they wait for further medical care, at least they won't starve until I can afford it. Neither have lost a lot of weight, but Bean is pretty dehydrated so it's important that I get more into her than her daily bath water

Anyways, which should I invest in; AcidophiLiz+ or Oxbow products? And between Critical Care and Carnivore Care, which would best suit my needs right now? I've also used organic raw honey but it didn't seem to work.

I don't know which one I would try, maybe both if you can get a small amount of each from the same place. Acidophiliz is a supplement that may increase appetite which may get them eating. The Critical Care is an actual food that has supplements, so you would still be just giving them something to eat without them necessarily wanting it and without it producing the desired result of bringing back their appetite to eat on their own. Have you tried a variety of fruits or plain fruit juice mixed with other foods, whether as a smoothie or just on top of salads ?

Hiya! I give them both blueberries, raspberries, and mango from our backyard- only Stink eats the fruit, though. Bean has never touched anything she doesn't recognize. She used to eat two bowls of greens a day :lol: Tonight we actually got her to eat four superworms, which is a huge leap forwards.
I was planning on ordering off Amazon but I don't see AcidophiLiz+ My money is all on Amazon gift cards so I might just have to get the Critical Care and find something else at a pet store for their appetite. I saw a Flukers appetite booster locally but I'm no so sure about that company... haven't heard much about it. Should I try it?

I had a tough time finding it too and wound up ordering it from beautifuldragons. You can get bene-bac on Amazon. It works pretty well and is an every third day offering rather than daily. https://www.amazon.com/Bene-Bac-Plus-Bird-Reptile-grams/dp/B00076HSKC

Hi, I hope all is well. Our beardie had a similar problem 4 years ago and again this year. The vet had us mix the critical care 2/3 to 1/3 carnivore care. They didn't want us to give her a lot of fruit because of possible fungus overgrowth. We put it in a syringe (3ml slip tip, ordered on Amazon) and put a drop on her nose/upper lip. Her reflex to lick kicked in and I get as much in her as I can. I'm currently feeding her 4 times a day. Last time, I got her up to 3ml twice a day, but right now it's less, so more feedings a day. I'm currently using acidophiliz every because she's on Baytril, but I used to give it to her once a week with some calcium glubionate for maintenance. I hope this helps.
