I do not have any experience with this either, but I thought I would post to bump you thread. I hope that someone with more experience see this soon. Good luck.

Hello,

How did they determine that it was a stomach ulcer? That is not usually an ailment that they get.
What treatment is he on?
Was he throwing up or having diarrhea with blood, etc? Did they do a fecal exam?
What are you feeding him right now?

Hello,

How is your dragon doing today?
Which UVB light are you using, is it a florescent tube or a compact coil? How close is it to him? What type of basking light do you use?
So he is on Baytril now? What is the dosage?
He appears to be getting better then, so that is good. Is he liking the critical care? Make sure to give extra oral fluids while he is on the medication right now. How long is he going to be on the Baytril?
Well, sometimes they can pick up sickness from bad feeders. Perhaps you picked up some bad locust possibly. As long as he is not throwing up anymore, that is the most important part.
Good that you are using tiles, & not any loose sand or partical substrate. That should not be an issue. Please let me know how he is doing.
