sick bearded dragon/Urgent

Question
He was on baby crickets/dusted.  Now he is on baby food chicken, plus I've added pedialyte to his diet as he will not eat but a bit, if at all.

Tank is 80 on the farside and 86 up under the heat lamp, but again I have to place him there and when I check back in 30 minute, he'll be under a log or rock again, almost hiding from the light.

I know the tempurate is right as I've checked it twice with two different digitials.

I do not see the point of raising the heat as it appears that he is trying to get away from it?  Or the uva/b light.  Should I raise it?  

If he hides for the light will the calcium not become a problem.  Could the calcium become toxic to him?  What about d supplements, I though I saw a sol/sol product for lizards?

I was reading up and everything say do not run the whitelight day and night as it can mess up the normal cycle and deprive the lizard of sleep.

After the pedialyte this morning he was standing, a first, in days, so I mixed pedialyte and baby food and got him to take about .25cc at lunch today.

Your input is appreciated as I alway appear to have to fix the kids pets...

Followup To

Question -
My daughter very young bearded dragon appears ill.

A trip to the vets was 4 days ago an only resulted in meds.  Calcium gluconate (by oral and needle)

However he is not eating (baby food hand feed)

His color is dark, we were directed to leave the uvb light on for one week, however the lizard hides from the light, (I reduced the heat lamp, thinking it was a heat issue) tank currently 83 degree.

But he still hides and his eyes are shut, could the ubv a/b be husting him, instead of helping.

He is very weak and unless we can turn him around soon, it does not look good.

Answer -
If your vet put him on calcium the UVB light is absolutely necessary to allow him to make the vitamin D necessary to make use of the calcium.  Does he have a basking spot in the tank and what is the temprature on it?  Also, does he have a hide spot on both the warm and the cool side of the tank?  And what were you feeding him prior to this trip and how old is he?  Best of luck with your baby.  I'll get back to you again as soon as you get back to me.

Answer
How big is his enclosure?  If it's large enough, I'd drop the temp on the cool side a bit and raise it to 90 on the warm side with a basking spot of 93.  Also, make absolutely certain that he has more than one hide box.

I would not advise under any circumstances mixing any kind of medicine or suplament into his diet unless the vet has instructed you to because there are some major risks associated with medicines interacting poorly.  And if the vet says to keep the UVB light on 24/7, keep the UVB light on 24/7.

However, if you are not comfortable with the care you recieved from this vet (and it sounds like you're not) the best thing you can do is to take him to a different vet.  But make sure that any vet who sees him specializes (or at the very least has done quite a bit of work with) reptiles.  And be certain to fully disclose the treatment he has been perscribed and what you have been doing with him to the new vet.  

Best of luck with your little baby.  I've got my fingers crossed for you.
