My baby bearded dragon is sick, not eating or drinking. Advice?

Question

I just recently adopted a baby bearded dragon who is trying to pull out of failure to thrive he is a little bloated and constipated trying to give him water and Emeraid IC .07ml seem to be pulling out of it for a while but past 3 days is not as interested in eating or being fed as he was before and he's still fairly active but still struggling to get him to eat on his own drink on his own just looking for some advice

Confirm proper enclosure temperatures. Young dragons need warmer temps than adults. You can review care and feeding at the link below. http://www.anapsid.org/bearded.html Soak him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte for 20-30 minutes daily. This will provide warmth and hydration. be careful when feeding or administering water by syringe, you can easily cause him to aspirate fluids into his lungs which will cause respiratory infection. Fluker's Repta Boost is another supplement that can be used if the EmerAid is not sufficient. Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites.
