Does it take a while for them to work on Reptiles . It only been 5 days of the 14 day supply and i was hoping that he would show some sign of improvement . In his indoor cage he just hides , does not move to eat or get on to his basking area . I have to put him there and as soon as he gets warm he starts shaking his hed or when he TRIES to eat . He's on 0.18 mls of Baytril ( antibiotic ) and 2.0 mls of Metacam ( anti-inflamtory/pain ) he had no sign of infection that she(vet) could see .

this is what happens when he tries to eat or lower his or it get worse whe gets warm .She said he could have Vertigo !!

here is what the vet e-miled me today .

''As long as he is eating at least a couple bites a day, we are ok. The
primary indicator of medical condition in reptiles that are otherwise ABLE
to eat is willingness to eat. If he flat-out refuses food for more than
72 hours, we need to intervene at that point. If you feel that he is uncomfortable enough that his feeding response may shut down, we can add some narcotic pain meds into the mix, and I can work up a dose for any vet up there who would be willing to dispense them to you. Bear in mind that these drugs are somewhat sedating, and that could cause him not to eat, but you can play with dose, and sometimes just taking the edge off the discomfort makes everything better.''
