Hey, I think I may have found the cause for all of the weird behavior this past month or so. I took in a fecal for a recheck after she was treated for pinworms, and they found entamoeba, said it’s normal but because of the runny stool she’s had for quite a while, they want to treat it. They prescribed her something with an m, I think it was metronidazole? But, I just want to make sure this is safe for her to take? She has her appointment scheduled for 5 days, and that’s when she would get her first dose. Do I need to get her medication sooner? I read that this can be fatal if not treated. She is eating normally, hunting, drinking water fine, her energy is back up a little, although she did lose some of her energy for a few days, and I’m unsure if she’s losing weight. Beard color looks good. Only symptoms are a smidge less energy this past week or so, and the runny stools she’s had since I got her. She was just on medication for her pinworms, it was pyrantal or something like that. I don’t want to do more harm than good by giving her more medication if she doesn’t need it, if that makes sense.

Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
