2 weeks on Baytril??

[Terrylee]

Hey everyone! As you all know I recently took my beardie to the vet due to blood in his stool and as a result he was prescribed baytril, now since being on this drug he has been sluggish and disinterested in his food he will not eat weather it be for love or locust and he is constantly black bearded! he has not been to the toilet in 2 weeks! Even with persistent coxing and warm baths! Now having said that he managed to poop about 5 minutes ago and I honestly am a little worried it is a horrible colour and smell any ideas?

Given that it's been that long since he's pooped it doesn't look too bad.. I don't know if baytril affects the color of the urates or not but that might be the reason for the yellow, or it's a sign that he's dehydrated as it should be white. The poop part actually doesn't look bad to me it shows he's eating some greens. All dragon poop stinks bad but if it's super super gross you can let the vet know to see if that's also a product of the antibiotics.. He might still be feeling gross hence the blackbearding that might ease up now that he's pooped

I agree, I think he might be a bit dehydrated. Try to coax him to drink some water or give him some juicy hornworms. Sometimes the antibiotic may upset their stomach, kinda like when we take them. You could try giving him a probiotic that will help rebuild the gut flora.
