If he won't take any, you can try a short, warm shallow bath tomorrow. So when you say he liked medium crickets, can you be specific as to how long they were. Some pet stores sell ? medium " crix that are too large for babies. A good size cricket for a baby is 1/4 inch. I'm just trying to rule out impaction, because if he ate a few crix that were too big, it may have impacted him. Has he been pooing ? Sorry I forgot if you mentioned it.

How much Cipro was given & is that the only medication given right now?
When do they expect to get the fecal results back for him?
He could have worms or parasites that are making him ill also, but the fecal results should reveal that.
Definitely try the baby food to help with getting nutrition into him. You can get some bee pollen to help boost the immune system as well.
Keep his tank around 80 over night to help as well, since he is not feeling very good.
Are you using a UVB light as well?
Let us know how he is doing.

That dosage looks good. It may affect her appetite right now though.
How is he doing tonight ? He looks great & like he is going to shed also which can affect the appetite too.
Hopefully the probiotics will really help out for her.
Keep us posted on her!

That is good to hear he is at least active & basking right now.
As for giving the meds, they should be given on an empty stomach for better absorption, but you can try giving half & half if there is a time that he has not eaten later in the day. The probiotics need to be given later in the day also away from food & meds.
I hope he is feeling better soon.
