First read the link below of another post on this forum and it will explain what is going on inside your dragon.
The vet is right in keep feeding him the lactobacillus. Thats what he needs more than anything right now.
Also, males will stop eating when all they can think about is mating and it is not usually for a male to drop weight and even waste away if all he can think about is a female and mating. Keep them apart and where he can not see her, til he is eating and put back on weight.
Keep him well hydrated, diluted strawberry-kiwi gatorade is something most dragons like and it will replace some things in him that he is losing with the loose stools. slightly lower the side of his lips and place a drop there with your finger or a eyedropper, they will start licking it and you can add more on the tip of his nose.
Put a few crickets or superworms in a bowl they can not get out of and leave in with him, he needs to start back eating on his own as soon as possible, the longer you force feed him, the more he is going to be stubborn and NOT open his mouth voluntarily.. of course that does not mean to starve him... but try to encourage him this way to return to eating on his own Cycle of coccidia treatment
