Oliver is slowing recovering from a skin infection, that is almost completely healed up. (https://www.chameleonforums.com/day-8-a-132035/)
However he is still on baytril and his appetite is basically nothing. He has had normal poop up until yesterday at the vet, he had almost explosive runny poop. I expected this since all he has had is liquified bugs and water for the past few weeks. The vet suggested chicken to be mixed in with his bug juice to give some solids back into his diet. (as I was told from my mom)
I wasn't at the vet when this was suggested, I was at vet camp at texas A&M and I haven't confirmed if the chicken is only for adding solids or if he really needs protein.
I don't really want to give him chicken, because baytril is already hard enough on the kidneys, I don't think more protein is good either.
I want to trust this vet, but she isn't a reptile vet but she's the best I've got around. Any help?
