I would get jean on a baby food slurry diet now.He probably isnt eating because of the meds he was given.The antibiotics are tough on them.Also giving him the probitoics will help calm his tummy.Now as for the feeding you want to go get a veggie baby food and a chicken babyfood and mix them with a little water to thin it out and add a pinch of calcium then put it un the microwave for a few sec to warm it up.He may lick it off a spon or the tip of his nose but if he doesnt then you will need to get a neddless plastic syringe and feed it to him.Another thing you can try to see if you can jump his appetite is a productoutrank17":44298 said:Ok thanks! I'll be able to get on that tomorrow. About the skin culture and everything, I'm not sure when I'll be able to, unless vets are opened on the weekends (I don't know if the vet here does skin cultures).
1. In the chance that it is yellow fungus, what are the chances Jean will pull through?
2. When should I get concerned about Jean's not eating and weight loss, and what can I do about that?

I just wondered how things were going for you today? I really do think a culture should be done, just to rule out any type of fungus for sure. It should take 5-7 days for culture.
When you begin to see his hipbones, the fatpads on top of his head have shrunken down & the base of his tail is losing mass, then you need to worry!
Let us know how things are going.

Also, I went to Walmart and got the things I needed to get to treat yellow fungus (I got witch hazel because I didn't see tree oil; also got the equate version of lamisil--I assume that's ok). I didn't see soy yogurt at walmart, so I got some stuff that had "probiotic" on it. Jean ate a couple pieces of greens today. That's not alot, but hey, it's progress.
Question: Are repta aid critical care formula and reptiaid the same thing? The pet store here doesn't have either, but tomorrow I'll make a drive to the next town's Petsmart to get some.

Yes they can be messy cant theyoutrank17":2648e said:vickson420":2648e said:Dont give him that probiotic yogurt because its dairy and it will make him worse what you need is SOY yogurt.
Ok, thanks. I guess I'll have several things of yogurt for my breakfast then. I'll pick some of that soy up then. My girlfriend is coming back here tomorrow and I asked her to get some reptiaid from the Petsmart in houston. I just fed Jean 1 ML of chicken veggie baby food. 25% of that I probably had to clean off from around his lips... he's a very messy dragon.
I told the vet to swab his back foot as well as his front foot (he mainly just wanted to swab a front foot I think), and so I think he got both feet in the culture. But would it really matter? If his back feet have yellow fungus, would they show up on the front feet as well?
