They’re just now getting a black beard.. does this mean they might be dying I’m very concernedHonestly I can't answer that. AHBD or Drache613 might be able to tell you.

Probably not dying, but still knowing about the ibuprofen I would probably get her back to the vet just in case.They’re just now getting a black beard.. does this mean they might be dying I’m very concerned
The black beard went down a little bit but it’s still kind of noticeable. I’ll attach a picture for reference. She’s not lethargic, in fact shes still extremely restless and has been glass surfing a lot. She ate 2 hornworms and a few pieces of arugula today. She hasn’t gotten any fluids or activated charcoal since the vet visit. They didn’t mention anything about doing multiple doses but if you reccomend that I should, I can go pick some up at the pet store tonight. Or I can pick up greens to make the slurry as well if you think that’ll work better. Any advice helps, thanks!Hello,
That is a bit concerning. How is he acting, lethargic? Have you been giving extra oral fluids & did you
make the greens paste I mentioned or get some activated charcoal to try & help reverse & detoxify?
I agree, it might be a good idea to get him back to the vets. Don't let them pump him full of antibiotics,
or other agents not needed. I would recommend saline solution or subcutaneous fluids only, & perhaps some activated charcoal if possible.

Here is a better picture of how the beard looked all day. The other pic has a shadow which makes it look a little darker than it was!The black beard went down a little bit but it’s still kind of noticeable. I’ll attach a picture for reference.

That doesn't look bad, and she don't look stressed. Personally I think if it was going to cause issues it would have done so by now. Still keep an close eye on her for a few more days though, they can crash very quickly if something is wrong.Here is a better picture of how the beard looked all day.
