help! please help

my bearded dragon is having trouble with his eyes. the vet said he has shed stuck in his eyes (idk if it’s even that anymore because he’s been to the vet 3 times and it’s been like 20 days and it’s still the same)he’s on antibiotics, pain meds, amino acid supplement, and some eye drops. his right eye is swollen and i can’t physically see his eye and his left eye is swollen but he can still see but not very good. i’ve noticed he’s losing weight and his poops were weird and small and kinda watery cause he’s not eating like he should and i’m assuming the antibiotics are not helping that. i was thinking about putting his greens in a blender to make them kind of like a paste because i’m giving him syringes of medicine every day anyways. has anyone had experience with that? should i try it out? i’ve tried force feeding him the greens (opening his mouth and putting them in there) but he just chews them and spits them out. please any advice. i’ll attach a picture in comments EDIT: i’m looking for another vet by the way

Hello,

Oh I am so glad that you were able to see a specialist finally. How is his
eye looking, any improvements? Hopefully the eye itself isn't affected. If
it's limited to his eye lid. I hope it isn't anything serious, maybe just a brenign
growth like a cyst or something.
Let us know the results of the swab test & how he is doing.

Hello,

Thanks for posting the letter from the vet. So the eye treatment/antibiotc eye drops were effective,
but there was probably something else going on. If there was no cancer involved, then more tests
might show what could have been going on. They are masters of hiding illness, unfortunately, until
it is often too late.

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
