Any suggestions for liver support?
That's not surprising, unfortunately. Most people end up just forgetting about them or not seeing them as a priority, so they end up not feeding them. It happened to my last "crew". I left them in the care of my family for probably nearly a year and a half, they all passed. I found out they just weren't feeding them at all. It's horrible, but all that matters is he's back in your care now. I wish I had that same opportunity with past dragons (and a uromastyx) of mine.MissCutiePatootie":8h3x2nbo said:Also, I explained to my mom what his lab results meant and she confessed to only feeding him 2x a week maybe more. I can not even express my feelings right now. It's horrible.
And yes, he hasn't flipped over again since Tuesday I think it was. So I definitely think it was the antibiotics!
Cephalosporin and specifically ceftazidime-induced neurotoxicity although an infrequent adverse effect is likely underrecognized especially in extremes of age, critical illness, renal dysfunction, and prior neurological disease.

That is really great news Malachi is eating again, bless him! So you are thinking he is getting
ready to shed now? It sure has been a long haul for you both.
Those supplements should help him a lot & give more nutrition, too. I hope he continues to do
better for you.
The x-rays don't look too bad. Hopefully the liver is healthy & his kidney function is optimal. I'm
not sure exactly what would cause the mottled appearance onthe x-rays. Did you get the blood
work in also?
I am hoping that he continues to improve & starts gaining weight. That amount of food for him
is fine, he will hopefully regain his natural appetite soon!
