For those who have had a bearded dragon with stress symptoms: How many days did it take for it to start eating again?

hacé una semana y poco más expliqué mi situación con Kaido, el cual había sido medicado por unos parásitos lo cual le causó un cuadro de estrés bastante fuerte, al punto de no querer comer por una semana. Pasada la semana, decidí llevarlo al veterinario de nuevo (lo llevé el jueves pasado) y le inyectaron vitaminas, antibióticos y desinflamatorios con el fin de estimular el apetito. Kaido a día de hoy ya no tiene la barba negra, pero sigue sin comer y cierra los ojos cuando me acerco al terrario a ofrecerle comida. Qué puedo hacer para estimular su apetito? o cuanto puede llegar a durar el tiempo en el que no quiera comer? He visto casos en los que los dragones no comen por mucho mucho tiempo, pero aún así me preocupa que no quiera comer

Update: The child only wants to eat poppies; he rejects vegetables and insects

The dragon doesn't want to eat because of stress.

My guy Kaido had parasites that couldn't be removed with a regular dewormer, so we had to give him other medication to get rid of them for a week. As much as I tried not to stress him out while giving him the medication, it's very difficult because he struggles and gets very angry. I started on Saturday, and by Tuesday he was already picky about eating. Yesterday he didn't eat at all, and the vet told me it was best to stop the treatment for now. Today he still doesn't seem to want to eat and still has his black beard. What can I do to reduce his stress and get him to start eating again?

Why aren't my isopods reproducing?

I have a few Orange Cream isopods. At first, some died due to excessive humidity, but I've regulated the humidity now. They have dry leaves, crushed eggshells, and protein powder in their container, but I still don't see any pouches. What else could be preventing them from reproducing?

tail with MBD?

I've had Kaido since January, but I've noticed that the tip of his tail is stiff and looks crooked. He lives a healthy life, does his business, and has always had UVB light (he used to have a bulb, now he has a stick light) and supplements (multivitamin and calcium with D3) every week. Could this be MBD? Or perhaps a fracture in his tail? It looks crooked, and the tip feels stiff; it doesn't move. I used to give him calcium with vitamin D3 twice a week, now I only give it to him once. I give him calcium three days a week and a multivitamin and calcium with vitamin D3 one day a week, with two days without any supplements. Should I increase the calcium?

How can I distribute the supplements for my gecko?

I have this little girl who's a year and a bit older, but I still don't know how to properly manage how often to give her supplements. I give her Repashy three times a week and crickets once a week (before I gave her Repashy twice a week and crickets twice a week; should I go back to giving her crickets twice a week?). The thing is, I don't know how to give her calcium with and without D3 and a multivitamin if I'm only giving her crickets once a week. Help, please!

Do my son's legs look swollen?

I don't know if he's swollen or if he's just grown quite a bit. He's about 29cm tall and weighs 88g. I give him calcium 4 days a week, calcium with D3 2 days a week, and a multivitamin 1 day a week, but I'll reduce the calcium with D3 to 1 day a week. He spends his day like everyone else, does his things, and climbs a lot.

I thought that because of its MBD, its suction cups weren't working properly, and I did everything I could to get it to climb the walls. After so much effort, today it decided to show me that it can climb!
