Troubled Pacman

1,5 month is too long without food, especially given he had meds, you did good, he had to be force fed. At this point his body defences possibly going down because of lack of nutrient intake. So yes i would say you need to carry on force feeding, try to coat nightcrawlers in reptiboost each time. How big is afrog exactly, can you take pic? I think 2-3 nightcrawlers per week should do. With a few days in between each of them.

Bath is for restoring electrolyte balance, you can go from pure pedyalyte to any mix with water ( up to 10 parts), i suggest you go for 1:1 ratio for the first 2 baths and then go for mix 1 part of pedyalyte to 5-7-10 parts of water. you can do it every day for the first week while you are changing his paper towels and bigger intervals for the following week up, monitoring how he is doing.

He's slightly smaller than the Palm of my hand so maybe 3 or 4 inches. I should rephrase, he's never eaten for me on his own but I've been force feeding him since he started antibiotics(3 wks). He's gets a night crawler every 3 days. Every other one getss dipped in calcium powder. Thanks for all of the advice. I'm gonna start the soaks today. Should hear back from New vet at some point today. Will update with progress.

Update! I ended up bringing a fecal sample with me to work last week and found a whooooole bunch of parasites. Gave him a dose of dewormer on Monday. No new bumps have developed. Old ones are still there but he seems more lively. He's still in the hospital setup. Still not eating on his own but I'm hopeful that things will change soon. Thanks for all the advice everyone!
