What kind of parasite and where did it come from?

I would seperate the two....give them some unstressfull time alone to recoperate. You may have better luck getting the male to eat that way too....

You might as well treat the female as well. If they are both in the same cage before, then there is a very good chance she will also have parasites. The stress of being in a cage with another bearded dragon may be why he is skinny. She could be the dominant dragon in the cage and keeping him from eating properly and basically stressing him out. I would deffinitely keep him housed separated permanently, only introducing him to the female when you want the breed her, if you decide to go this route.
