Worse after vet??? Please help Hennessy!

Hey I'll try and make this quick.

Took Hennessy to the vet yesterday because he was lethargic, hadn't eaten in almost two weeks, and hadn't pooped in the same timeframe.

He had to stay at the vet overnight so they could do a fecal exam. Picked him up earlier this afternoon from vet, he seemed like he was doing a whole lot better.

Fecal exam came back with signs of pinworm so the vet treated him with (1) dose of PANACUR, and sent one home with an extra one to give him in two weeks. The side effects of this are vomiting, which hasn't happened, yet.

Brought him home, gave him a bath (he was fine) and put him in his tank. Now we just installed 2 brand new uvb's in his tank right before hand so that's new to him. His substrate is tile, basking temps between 98-105/ cool end stays around 80-84 ish.

I happened to be looking in his direction and noticed that he was flaring his beard, as well as looking like he was gagging. So being the hypochondriac that I am, I freaked out. Called the animal hospital and they said it shouldn't be a side effect from Panacur, but could be either choking or a respitory problem i.e. not breathing right.

The vet said that everything as far as lungs heart ears eyes etc. etc. was fine. So im wondering, what the h*ll is making him do this.

Right under his chin, his beard is sucked in, which it never is. and the bottom of his beard by his neck is puffed out a little and looks lumpy. What is causing this?? if anything???

The twitching can be from either too many or too few supplements, I forget. But it is a little twitch that will probably go away.

I don't know what to say about the beard.

Sometimes mine like to stretch their beards like we like to stretch sometimes. They do it more often when shedding. Does he still look like he is gagging? Okay. Still gagging.

This will sound really stupid, but I'd give him a nice bath, let him dry, and have a long snuggle.

I'm sorry I don't really know how to help. I know how scared you are.

I just gave him a nice warm long bath about an hour ago, wrapped him in a towel, and gave him some snuggles then put him back in his cage. still gagging, yes. so ill take him back out, wrap him up, and give more some more snuggles until I almost fall asleep then ill put him to bed. I just feel so bad. :(

Okay, I just looked at another thread of yours, about him being inactive, and saw the UVB bulbs you ordered. Please turn them off, and see if that will help.

Yes, dear, they are bad. I'm sorry. I hope you can return them.
You want a ReptiSUN 10 TUBE or an Arcadia 12%. I'll send you links.

I got no sleep, but Hennessy did. Woke him up this morning and he actually ate! Hr had three superworms and gobbled up one cricket. This momma is happy. He is basking on his favoitre log at the moment. And seems to be more active. No gagging yet. Hopefully he stays this well

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
