Help! Bearded dragon with impacted gas!

Hello,
So i went to the vet today and it wasnt a herp vet but she took xrays of my bearded dragon, and she said he has gas in upper digestive tract, she didnt really give me anything to do except maintain his soaks in warm water till tomorrow when the herp vet is open. He is 11 years old and i have been feeding him critical care through a syringe because he has lost a dramatic amount of weight in two weeks and that is the only way i can get him to eat anything and get his nutrients somewhat. After the vet i picked up some pedialite and some olive oil and mixed the two to maybe give him some help to poop. The vet said it isnt hard but it is runny, so if you guys could help me with anything i truly appreciate it cause i am beyond worried im losing my best friend. Oh! And the reason we rushed him to the ER is because he was having a hard time breathing and his beard was turning a black i have never seen as well as the tip of his tail. Hope you guys have anything to help, i would greatly appreciate it!

Hi Lea, sorry that your buddy is having such trouble. I'm not sure what would be causing the gas, have you tried to very lightly massage his chest/stomach area ? Be careful of baths with an old beardie, I don't think that will help his situation, as a matter of fact it might cause him to swallow air + puff up. So skip the baths. I hope he starts feeling better....how is he doing right now ?

He is doing alright, the vet told me to continue the baths. I been giving him small amounts of olive oil and pedialite to maybe get something moving, hopefully he will be alright till mornig when i can take him to a legit vet that knows more about reptiles. He is basking so thats a good thing but seems to have a hard time breathing and on our way home from the ER he pooped a small amount of mucus and blood so very worried just want tomorrow to come already

Hello,

How is your boy today, any improvements?
Could he have been impacted perhaps? I hope he is breathing better. Did the vet give any medications at all? He could have a slight respiratory infection if he is having trouble breathing.
Be sure to keep his tank around 80 overnight & a lower humidity, also. I would keep the baths short though so you don't overly stress him.
Let us know how he is doing.

Hi,
I dont know he pooped but only a small amount about as small as the top of a pen cap, not much and small amount of blood. Can i use a red infared buld 75 watt tonight while he sleeps and what about the humidity how do i keep it at around 80??
