The action you described is sometimes associated with a slight respiratory infection, I've seen a beardie do that before. Sometimes it ends with a slight audible exhalation.
The Panacur is a dewormer, the Baytril [ aka Enrofloxacin ] is an antibiotic used for many things, including respiratory infection. And you know the Critical Care mix is a nutritional supplement.
A 10 gram weight loss is negligible, that can fluctuate in one day after a bowel movement, so try not to worry about that unless it keeps trending downward. Can you post a video of his breathing if it continues ? Oh, and post pics of of his/her rear end with Lenny's tail lifted straight in the air while he is on a flat surface [ think of a happy or alert dog with tail up, almost arched over it's back and I can probably tell you the gender.

Anyway,that doesn't look like a respiratory thing in the video [ the movements I had in mind that I mentioned ] It may just be something that might be temporary but probably is related to his gastroenteritis. It may not be anything very serious and hopefully it will pass soon. Does the vet have any idea what the gram negative condition is ? Maybe salmonella ? Certain things are pretty common in reptiles and not a real health problem. Exactly what is he eating right now ?

So, kudos! Just nice to see someone coming back with the vet results right away so the more health experienced members can step in.
I'm no expert on the medications, but regarding sexing Lenny, I see no reason why probing is necessary.. If you're needing any reassurance, we at the forum can help with tail lift photos. My vet was able to confirm the genders of my 2 dragons by tail lift and checking pores (not always an indicator.) I know this is likely the least of your concerns now.
I do hope he feels better, I've been following Lenny threads since you got him.
Feel better, Lenny!
