Waxworms are fatty and can cause vomiting if too many are eaten, plus they're addictive like you said.
That can of food is probably the type for dogs/cats....it's not bad for a short time,but not really the right stuff . You can just get some baby food chicken, green beans + squash. Add a few drops of water and offer that to her. Unfortunately it spoils easily [ even in the fridge ] after 4-5 days so freeze some of it to make it last longer.

That is what I was wondering as to whether or not the vet did a fecal exam before prescribing the panacur? How much panacur did she receive?
Luckily the panacur isn't terribly hard on the system but it can still upset their GI tract a little bit though.
Definitely double check the temperatures in the 10 gallon tank because the smaller tanks make it very hard to keep them from overheating. The cooler end could go to 75-80 to help keep the warm & basking spot from going to high in that smaller tank.
I agree, phoenix worms would be great for her, she should love them.
She has great colors & is small but doesn't look horribly bloated, maybe just a little bit.
Can you get her some probiotics such as non dairy soy yogurt or non dairy acidophiliz?
You can add some sugar free applesauce, canned pumpkins or fresh along with a drop of olive oil to help baby food mix to help her system out.
Let us know how she is doing.

The color of the stool may change along with the consistency anytime meds are introduced into the system.
Try to keep her as hydrated as you can & continue giving softer foods also if you feel it's helping her out. Is she still active & basking today?
I am sure that she probably isn't quite as bloated either, passing everything through now.
Let us know how she is doing & how her tail is, too. If you can get pictures of that too, that would be great.
