Help panther dying

Hope I have provided yall with enough share my post to anyone who can help it would be beneficiall to me and my man Marty. I can't loose him and I will take any help I can get it love this little guy he is my study buddy haha. Had him sense a baby little guy and I'm sad and feel I have neglected him. But I tried everything. That's why I need help from anyone who is willing to give me info just ordered that carnivorous care stuff should be here tomorrow later. Should I feed it the same as I have with the tube? Squirt it in his mouth? He opens to the site of it now usually no persuasion to open his mouth
 
I have increased his misting set up to go off everyour 2 minutes for 120 seconds and probably mist him myself ehhh I would say 10 times a day and use a full bottle or until he looks like he is trying to walk away. I will change the gut load no doubt thanks for that but right now he won't even eat a bug so I'm not sure what to do. And I don't have that carnivores care so Idk if I should use the urgent care dogcat food he provided? Just for tonight? I also gutload with this

I got this one wc panther in particular early this year. Wouldn't eat anything from the moment I received him. I used repto-boost and mooshed up bugs and put it into a syringe. He started to come around very very slowly. Then I got a tip from an olschool panther breeder and I turned him around super quick. Secret ingredient- Karo corn syrup. Gives them kinda like a sugar boost of energy. I only made the karo about 20% of the whole concoction. With 4/5 days he ate his first cricket all by himself. I felt like I climbed the tallest mountain. This chameleon came to me looking horrible. Everything was sunk in.
 
And as for the black spots also? Carnivorous care dosage for him? Poop being diahreah, couldn't be from eating anything but dirt. And haven't seen him eat dirt In his life? I am just lost here. I know I am sending a bunch of questions in one sorry I am panicking.just need all the help I can get.
 
Keep using the bug burger, it's good stuff. I would keep doing the dog food, I wouldnt want him to go any length of time without something in his stomach. And a day or so more with the dog food won't cause serious harm at the moment. Carnivore care is fed with a syringe yes, make sure you get into the back of his mouth so he doesn't breathe it in. Read the instructions with carnivore care, it needs to be mixed to be a certain consistency and such. You can also store it in your freezer for longer shelf life. I would feed him about the same as you are feeding the dog food. Which is 2 cc?

Yes 2cc I can do that no problem. It's already ordered. Now I will also try what Craig Wyatt provided info on with a corn syrup or some sort what do you think? Thanks so much for your help
 
The spots could be part of his coloring at the moment, or it could minor burns. Not sure. Diarrhea is most likely from the dog food. Karo syrup or organic honey could be used to this effect. I use honey with all my frugivorious reptiles when they are sick because it gives them energy. Karo syrup is just more processed and more sugary. Honey would provide more benefits health wise in my opinion.

this seems like far too much misting.
 
I'll break it down here so I case anyone else wants to here. First reptoboost. Comes with a feeding syringe. Mix up with water about a half of spoon of just reptoboost. Then you will need to add bugs. So pick some bugs and start mooshing them into total moosh. I used crickets. It was a pain because it's hard to moosh up there body. Like legs and such. Remember you have to be able to suck this through a force feed syringe. Fruit flys or house flys would prob be easiest but I used what I had. Then I added a drop of karo corn syrup. It's not like a drop of water. Much bigger. Comes out the size of a single peanut pretty much. Then mix it all together. That's what's for dinner. I loaded the whole syringe and did this once a day until I started seeing improvement. Then I started to skip a day and instead of offering this concoction I would throw crickets in. As soon as he ate his first cricket by himself I stopped force feeding.
 
I know the corn syrup might sound crazy. I sure did when it was told to me. But that single ingredient made all the difference. Before I was just using the reptoboost and bugs when I started adding the karo it was like I was putting a little boost of energy in him.
Now I see others are posting to use honey. Sounds logical to me. It's a natural sugar buzz too I would think. But I just can't say for sure because I've never tried it.
