I would offer plenty of water by dripping it on his nose to lick up as well as offering bugs that are gutloaded with fresh veges and hydrating options like squash. When he does regain his appetite, those may help out.
Can you post some photos of him and the affected area around his mouth? You can upload photos here https://www.beardeddragon.org/useruploads/ and post them to your thread using the XIMG button when you reply.

This plays a huge roll in the health of your dragon-- if your using a coil UVB hes not going to get any better- basking temps should be 105-110 for a baby and 95-100 for a juvie/ adult dragon--this needs to be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer this also plays a roll in the eating and health of the dragon--- please post some pics of him and his tank --

KarrieRee":1e889dyg said:Ok so get the 10.0 bulb --- the 5.0 is not strong enough and can be used for a back up but you want that 10.0 bulb -- its a T 5 and better for him --- when you get it place it inside the tank approx 12-15 inches from his basking decor piece -- that log piece you have sitting next to the hammock is a real good piece for offering different basking temps - I have that same piece sitting under my basking light- my dragons love that decor --(separate tanks) I have the stick part sticking in the air layed on the floor of the tank and the big trunk piece under the basking light -- it offers temp gradients -- they can lay on it stand against it lay under it or prop themselves on the long stick part --- if you need help in hanging the fixture let me know and I will post some stuff for you --- that coil your using is not helping your dragon get better ---- coils are NO good and offer no UVB in bigger tanks --- to be honest I wouldnt even use them in small tanks either -- no faith in them
KarrieRee":28mrxo3l said:Both --- but that long tube fixture is going to really help ---- they need that good UVB for the overall health of the dragon --- the vet needs to do X rays to see if there is any fluid there -- w/ him going on the Baytril and not having any UVB really did no good - but going back on a med w/ the good UVB should clear it up-- along w/ good basking temps-- its going to help his immune system fight it off -- just remember to change out that 10.0 bulb in approx 1 year -- I usually recommend a month prior to -- the dosage was probably right but not having the good UVB wasnt doing any good- what was the amount they prescribed and how long and how much does the dragon weigh - we can have Tracie take a look and she can tell you if the amount was right for his weight etc
