butt shaking? a little concerned~

[O-Gonchothedragon]

Hi well, I dont know whether to put this in behavior or health.. oh well~
anyway, the other day I had noticed a fake leaf in a poorly digested poop. I immediately removed the plants from Oggie's tank, and she seemed to be fine. Then today she would shake her butt around on the substrate and then head bob... so i don't know if that is behavioral, or if she could possibly be obstructed.. well, im gonna give her a bath and see how that goes.
thanks

What substrate is she on? If it's a loose substrate, remove it immediately.
Be sure that you are not feeding her anything bigger than the space between her eyes.
What is the basking temperature and the cool end temperature? If the temps are incorrect, she will not be able to digest properly. That butt shake means she is struggling to poop and she is likely in a lot of pain.
If she doesn't poop soon, feed her a little olive oil, unsweetened applesauce, babyfood prunes, or unsweetened pumpkin to help move things along.

My boyfriend and I lost a dragon to impaction.. I don't want to see anyone go through what he and I went through.
Please let us know how she is doing.
