So I only just noticed this today. I felt the skin under my beardy when I held her and it felt very scaly and dry, I think she's shedding maybe... but then I looked and there are red spots that are almost assuredly blood.

Why would this be happening? (Sorry for poor image quality on 2nd pic)

EDIT: Also, if it makes any difference. She went to vet ~1.5 weeks ago, is going back for follow up monday. Doctor said she wasn't walking right may have MBD, switched from ReptiSun 5.0 to 10.0, and have been giving her .2 cc of calcium through syringe in mouth twice a day. It doe seem like her appetite has decreased.

Hi there.... she looks good + healthy in the top pic, hopefully she can recover from the calcium deficiency. It's good that you got a 10.0 bulb. Is it the long tube ? They are far better than the coil or compact . You can take her out in the sun for extra uvb but not in a glass tank.

The red spots are very blurry, can you try to get better pics ? Can you think of anything that she might have crawled on that was jagged , either in or out of her tank ? Have there been any loose insects in the tank overnight ? I don't think that's the cause but it is a possibility. You can dab a little Neosporin on there or some raw, unpasteurized honey [ a natural antimicrobial ]

UPDATE: So I know you're not supposed to peel shed, but she had a dark back for about a month, and the very edge was starting to peel a tiny tiny bit so I waited but 3 days later and it stayed the same only tiny part was sticking up.

I peeled her entire back and stomach and the skin came off pretty easily, whatever the blood looking stuff was its on the shedded skin and her stomach is completely fine

Right, you shouldn't pull the shed off....it can cause painful sores if it's not ready. But good that the spots are gone....must have been a bit of food stain. :)

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!
