Bearded Dragon Egg

My Bearded dragon of 9 months old stopped eating all together, he switched terrariums around 7-8 months old. He was eating fine in early November all the way back to August when I got him as a baby from LLLreptile. I took him to the vet and she found Coccidia but only one count, I took him back recently and she found no traces of it but this time found a Larvae of some sorts. So basically she gave him his first dose of medication and then I'm supposed to give him one in two weeks. My Husbandry is as follows: 10.0 reptisun tube which fits into the 18 inch fixture that goes over top of the screened in terrarium. a 100 Watt Basking Bulb that puts out temps from 107-115 during the daytime. Two hides, his basking log and a cave on the cool side that he sleeps in. I've been offering food and I can't supplement like I want to because he just outright refuses anything. Even Superworms which he devoured before. So I'm having to feed him with a syringe, the vet says that it could be a combination of things from having the coccidia to this new parasite they just found, to the time of the year. She hasn't said anything about Brumation, I feared that's what it was because he stopped pooping on his own. I have to bathe him or else he won't go. I've had an X ray done and everything was ruled out in terms of MBD or whatever, the vet saw a couple dim spots and said he still has poop in him but they did a Enema and fecal there. He's in a 40 gallon Terrarium that's 3 feet by 2 feet and 2 feet deep, the Bask bulb is right around 8-10 inches from the dragon as well as the UVB is placed near the bask site now (wasn't before) It was in the middle. So my question is what do you guys think could be going on?
