It definitely would be great if I could see a copy of her blood tests.
It is a possibility she could be developing follicles also which can sometimes cause marked decreases in appetite & changes in behavior.
Did the vet see a high white cell count to justify giving the Baytril?
The lactulose is routinely prescribed for liver issues, namely fatty liver. How long did he want her on the lactulose?
She doesn't look like she has had any weight issues, but has stopped eating so giving some of the critical care is fine. You can mix it just until it thins out so it isn't too thick to where she chokes on it. Did she take the entire 10mls?
Before she stopped eating, how many insects was she eating weekly?
What is her supplementation schedule like?
I hope Lizzy is feeling better soon.

How is Lizzy doing today, has she been basking well?
I sent an email to you also.
Did the vet want her getting critical care daily? If she is maintaining her weight, 10mls is quite a bit of food so you could consider decreasing that & or feeding every other day. Be sure you feed her with the syringe in from the side of her mouth to avoid aspirating. Is she still coughing some?
I will wait to see the blood test results & x-rays so I can see the values first.
You are sure Lizzy is female?
Has she brumated or just slown down some? At her age, it's recommended to only have 20-30% protein max so we usually say to limit their protein to a 40-50 weekly amount. The rest of the diet comprises of vegetation, if you are lucky! LOL
It appears that he dosed her on the lactulose so hopefully it will help out.
Let us know how she is doing.
