That is great news. You might ask your vet about feeding 'critical care' I have been feeding it to my rescue beardie (periodontal disease). It is awesome he was not eating becoming lethargic and the CC got food back in his system. It is an amazing product.

I am sure F10 is helping there is too much evidence to deny it does but I would never suggest just F10 and no vet. Just for others reading.

Needles are a hard case. They get the correct dose directly into the muscles. The problem is you add a great deal of stress. Remember reptiles suffer with stress a lot. The concern is the added stress counters the benefit of the meds.

The F10 system is great I love working with it. I just remove as much solids as I can rinse a few times with water spray a heavy does of the (f10sc)XD and scrub with a brush rinse well and then saturate with the f10sc and wait 20 min and dry it out. I don't do this with enclosures as rinsing is very hard (unless they fit in the sink...) I replace the XD with a steamer and sponge with some f10 hand soap. (we use the f10 hand soap for us before and after handling Qs)

Just to be clear you are very very unlikely to sterilize anything at home sanitize yes disinfect yes. Sterile is NO bacteria virus or fungi. About the only way to sterilize at home is to boil things for 15-30 min rolling the whole time (still not 100% effective pressure is needed). You are not doing home surgery so it is not needed. I know that is not what you intended but if you look for chemical sterilants they are all very toxic for everything (you animals) and should NEVER be used at home. Just for clarity.
