Hello all,
I am new to this forum but have come across some of the conversations in Google searches, finally decided to join!
I have a 9 month old beardie that I have had since he was 1 mo. I have been treating him for parasites since he was 4 mo, off and on. Currently doing a 6 month course, antibiotics for first 5 days of every month, with extreme cleaning habits, to try and knock this out once and for all.
I recently had to redecorate his habitat with things I can easily boil or bake daily to remove the bacteria. I know this has been stressful for him and the fact that he is sick. He has been a bit lethargic, as he usually is when he is sick and has diarrhea, but he always perks up once I start him on the meds again. This time, he is still lethargic and doesn't run around much at all. Could this be because he is older and just doesn't move around as much? Or maybe because he is still just not feeling well?
Should I expect that when he continues to get older he won't be as active as he was when he was only a few months old?
Any advice on anything I mentioned above would be greatly appreciated!!
