Hi, first of I feal very simpathetic to your boy and your wish to make him recover, however I think your taking the wrong aproach to deal with it. First of you need to give your iguana´s body the oportunity both to rest and heal but by that I dont mean increasing the temperature, actualy I mean decreasing it! first he will become less active, he´s mating desires will slowen and he can have some rest. But of course I dont mean putting him out of its normal temp range, put him at a fairly constant 26C which is a very confy temp for igs to rest for a few days, that wont interfere with its healing or new blood production. Also you can and should decrease the photoperiod, actually when you see he is too much agitated you can temporarily put him in darkness which will calm him down. That wont hurt him, remenbar wild igs can easily survive tropical monsoons in a inactive state. Now you need to give him lots of fluids and food and you can do both by feeding him by hand the normal food he eats completly grounded up. As he is being kept cooler only feed a bit at a time, when he is calmer and back into basking give him as much food as he wants. Dont give him iron suplements, but you can give him things such as centrum wihich will help him recover.
