So I just got back from the vet's office and......he can come off the meds!!!! Hooray!!!!!
Funny, she went to weigh him and I told her how he wasn't eating much on his own so I was feeding him the leftovers in his bowl at the end of the day, so he might have lost weight. Ha Ha, he actually gained weight! She said she has never heard of any reptile being force fed that gains weight instead of losing weight! LOL!
