...you should not give it pedyalite.This medicine is made for human child not for small reptiles!!The body mass of your iguana is too little and pedyalite can make it have a heart attack.I saw recently a baby RES die in a few seconds when soaked in a drug similar to Pedyalite.Pedyalite has potassium what can even kill a human being if given in a high dose!You should soak it in water with sugar and salt.2 parts of sugar and 1/4 of salt. Iguanas absorb water by the vent so if you soak it in water with sugar and salt this will rehydrate it.
keep it warm in a quiet place.You should place its cage on top of something high like a wardrobe.If its possible, if you live in a hot country or state, put it in the sun.But be careful not to overheat the cage!

:She sounds very bad...she needs to see a vet. Bring a fresh stool sample if you can. She may need calcium injections, parasite medication, and who knows what else.
:Don't give her yogurt. You can try blending up some calcium rich veggies like collards, mustards, watercress, dandelion, endive, escarole with some squashes, and a little fruit like mango, melon, berries, papaya. These are good foods whether you blend them or can get her to eat them torn up. Pedialyte can be given for a short time until she is on her feet. Check out this site for more ideas.
