It's next week...Soonest I could get for a new patient! Anyway pogo still isn't eating all that great...but I'm not overly concerned because he's alert and isn't just laying around...I have given him a few doses of Acidophiliz but don't want to give him anymore till I see the vet. Also starting this morning I fed him by eyedropper only because I want to make sure he's getting good nutrition...I gave him some collard greens, pellets, pedialyte, and squash all liquified..Is this blend okay? Or is there other recipe's that work better??? So I'll keep you guys posted on pogo's condition after I get him to the vet!!

Hi
Hope Pogo gets better soon. My oldest beardy Buster is a regular visitor of the vet, asked him if I couldn't get a discount...
Whenever one of my beardies gets sick and doesn't eat I give them some of the following things: a pinky, some babyfood or some diluted catfood they al seem to work great and I give them some water with vitamines with an eyedropper. Succes with your dragon!

That mixture sounds fine for little POGO. Even though you are feeding like that still offer him his live foods. Also supplement the mixture with the calcium and vitamins like you would dust his crickets. Just add a tiny pinch to the mixture on the days he gets calcium, and a pinch of the multi vitamins on the day he gets that. Continue though with the greens and the crickets even with the liquid food. I hope little pogo is OK. Remember if you have to treat with meds use the acidophiliz during and for a few days after his treatment. It's really important, you don't want the yeast levels in his gut to get out of hand, qand couse other problems after the parasite treatment. Good Luck POGO!!! Hope ya feel better soon
