I believe that my bearie is impacted. Her stomach feels full and the normal bulge she has near her vent is now off to one side. She also threw up this morning. I have been reading about baths, massages and baby food / olive oil. I have given her 2 baths today for about 10 minutes at a time and some gentle massaging. When I put her back in her enclosure after the last bath (just a few minutes ago), she threw up a little bit more, but just fluid. Her beard and the last inch or so of her tail are black, so she's obviously in distress. I'm afraid to try and feed her anything and the vet is not an option right now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Background Info:
Female a little over 3 years old
Has always lived in calcium sand (from pet store)
First time having an impaction issue
Normally eats crickets, super worms, hornworms and romaine
I am supplementing with calcium with D3 monthly, a multivitamin monthly and calcium without D3 several times a week
Enclosure temperature is in the mid-eighties with a warmer basking spot - also using a linear 10.0 uv bulb
Please help!
