Is my Bearded Dragon impacted, gravid, or egg bound?

Finley is a 5 year old beardie. she laid eggs in 2020, but not since then. I took her to the vet about a month ago because she hasnt been eating any veggies of any kind (which is rare) and only will sometimes eat live. The test came back with a high glucose of 660 and the specialist thought it was a tumor but her x-rays looked fine. I did two separate glucose tests after that and the levels are back to normal. Which means the tumor is less of a chance. the most recent test, my vet asked the specialist what she thinks and the specialist asked if she's ever laid eggs before. My vet suggests putting her on doxycycline for antibiotics and anti-inflammatory or get an ultrasound. But im really tight on money after paying so much for tests:(. As of now, she is not eating still, only mealworms & the critical care food (the vet suggested) ive been giving her. Her stomach has gotten bigger and in the test results it says her calcium and albumin is high, which can indicate her being gravid. But I don't feel any eggs on her stomach. Is it possible she's egg bound, impacted, or gravid. Maybe even parasites? Someone please help:(

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
