Hello everyone, I wanted to update everyone on my WTF progress. Phoebe, my sick three year old, healed up perfectly with Enrofloxacin (anti-biotic), Panacur (de-wormer) and different water (I was using distilled). Picasso, my newly accquired, very ill and abused 6 month old, is doing SOOO well!! Her lips and elbows are almost COMPLETLY healed, and she has gained 5 grams! She is getting fat like her sister. My only worry is that she still won't eat solid foods. I am feeding her this reptile aid stuff made by flukers, that is syringe fed to her. I have tried crickets, meal worms and super worms, and all she just sticks her nose up 
. Does anyone have any ideas!? I will HOPEFULLY post before and after pics of both of them!

Since you are already force feeding, perhaps try making some bug puree? Liquify some crix, worms and such and give those to her with the syringe. Perhaps getting the taste of the actual bug being offered will help her toward accepting them live. After a few liquid feedings try a handfeeding with feeding tongs.
I hope she continues to improve!!
Good Luck!
