Help with eating.

[reddragon1]

My dragon is still not back to eating normal. We went to the vet last month & he had parasites & was low on calcium, the vet gave him a calcium booster & told me to get flukers aide & use it till he starts eating again. Well i had to do that & then he started back to eating 2-3 times a day veggies & worms so it was all good, but now we're back to not eating much of anything & not pooping. I'm not sure what to do need some ideas this is very stressful. Dont want things to get worse or anything bad happen.

You said you beardie had parasites when he went to the vets, did the vet treat them? I am sure if they were high and untreated or not treated properly then your beardie will be suffering now. I am guessing there is no blockage and the reason there is no poop going out is that there is no food going in, but that cannot be guaranteed.

I can't really offer any advice as I am fairly new to it all myself, but I hope someone here can answer your query.

I'm with DoubleJ here, how did you treat the parasites? Also I am curious why your dragon had a high(?) parasite count? Captive breed with parasites? What were you feeding while your dragon was eating? What is the substrate? Basking temperature? Have you given your dragon a bath since going through all it has gone through?

How old is your dragon? I would hold off on the supers till your dragon is eating better.
