Sorry I didn't get to this yesterday. How'd the dose go? I would try to feed him too when you dose him, it might make it a little easier if the thinks the medicine is food but I've never had to give a beardie medicine so I don't really know how it works :(

Went fantastic. He's ususally a fighter, even when sick, but he just let us dose him. He's already showing improvements. Eats great, even walked up to me when he saw his feed cup, something I havent seen in a long time.

welp, it makes me sort of depressed to say this, but he's started acting very strange now. I was only given enough medicine for two nights, and now squishy has almost stopped taking anything. The weirdest part is that it's like he knows food is there, his eyes lock in on it, but he looses interest within a few moments. Today he ate a single cricket and some dried up salad that had been in there a few hours. When I offered him fresh salad, he had no interest. Yesterday he ate a piece of plum, but today was the first time I have ever seen him turn down fruit. That has me scared.

oh, he also pooped inside his cage for the first time in months. I believe what i probably need is more medicine.

Are you keeping in contact with the vet on what is going on and if they think that what is going on is normal and to be expected? At least he ate something and at least he pooped.. hang in there

Sorry he's not feeling well. That's weird they would only give you enough medicine for 2 days. Let us know what the vet says tomorrow.

Been very buisy and couldnt get to the vet, (hopefully) I will on monday. I really want to because he still isnt normal. I can tell he wants to eat, eyes squinting and everything, but he soon becomes uninterested. He even went for a superworm today but missed it :/. I will be bringing another poop sample to the vet, but I doubt the parasites are gone after two doses.

ok, update :D. Went to the vet, and got 10 more days worth of medicine :). He'd already been acting better when I accidently left my heater on during school and the air temp was 90 degrees (whoops). Also was able to get a few other reptiles checked up on, and even though the car ride sucked, I got a lot done:).
