Fatten him up

[Reptilelover47]

Ok, so my 2 yo panther cham has a severe sinus infection, been to the vet (a really good one too) & has been on antibiotics since Dec 1st. Supposed to stay on them until Jan 1st due to level of severity the culture showed. He hasn't been eating on his own in weeks, Everyday i give him his meds & then some sweet potato baby food through syringe to get him to at least eat something. But, he is just so skinny & not eating won't help him to get any better. Anyone know of anything I can give him to fatten him up & give him more nutrients? Can't give him pasta baby food I'd assume... Lmk. Thanks.

Sorry for grammatical errors doin this on phone.

Instead of sweet potato I would mash up crickets, dubias and maybe a super mixed with the crickets. I would for sure try to get some bug juice in him.

Silkworms and hornworms will help two phase: hydration and weight. Try using the smallest ones he may eat. Worms garnish a feeding response most of the time, even from sick chams. Superworms could also be tried. But, make sure to keep him super hydrated as they may be a little harder to pass, if he isn't eating much. Good luck.
