Bearded Dragon Egg

My boyfriend and I got a baby bearded dragon about a month ago named Louie. We got him from a local pet store and they said he/she was probably around 2 months old. At first, Louie was very active, playful and just a joy to have and we have gotten really attached to him. Unfortunately, about 2 weeks ago, Louie began to change. He wouldn't play, wouldn't be awake as often and didn't want to eat crickets or greens anymore. In addition, Louie would be very selective with opening his eyes and seemed to favor one over the other. I noticed some crust in the eye he was no longer using and took him to the vet. She got the crust out and said the eye itself was healthy and it may be a side effect of him being sick. I sent in a fecal sample and got the news yesterday it was negative. The vet gave me some reptaid to help Louie. This is his 2nd day on it. He has a 10 gallon tank. The hot end is between 95-110 degrees and the cool side is between 65-80 degrees. The vet said the tank may be too small but I don't see how that is causing all these problems when he has the right temperatures and the right lighting that was recommended to me. I am worried about him losing weight. He hasn't eaten in 3 days and I don't know what else to do and I don't want to take him back to the vet because they seem at a loss too. I don't want Louie to suffer. He already hates receiving the medicine and I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and the outcome of that experience.
Thank you!!!
