I'm sorry he is not feeling well, he does appear to be in distress possibly. If you already
have a vet's appointment, it would be a good idea to get him in. Don't let them overmedicate
him, without just cause! If his kidneys are not doing great, antibiotics will do him in.
The Reptisun 10 T5 tube is a great bulb. I couldn't tell by the picture but how do you have it
mounted?
What are the temperatures in the tank & what types of foods & supplements are you using?
Is he a leatherback?

The fact that he poops every day despite not eating makes me wonder if he has some G.I. problem. I'm not sure why they couldn't get a blood sample, he's a good size, not a baby. And they should have given him some Critical Care supplemental feeding, not the dog food which is too high in fat for beardies. Has he eaten anything for you ? I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.

How is your boy doing today? Were you able to get any food or fluids into him at all?
He is definitely big enough for them to have done a blood draw, even if he is dehydrated.
That will indicate infection along with anything else that could be going on.
This is not your fault, they are excellent masters of disguise & you often wont recognize
signs of illness.
The critical care or herbivore care can definitely be helpful for him. It does sound more
like something internal going on, such as GI distress, or possible organ problems. It is so
hard to know for sure.
Let us know how he is doing.
