About 2 years ago I adopted my dragon Excalibur from a family who no longer wanted him. Come to find out, 2 years later (approx. 4 weeks ago) that Exie was a female and not a male. She had started laying eggs. She's laid close to 20 eggs now.
The problem is, ever since she started laying she hasn't had an appetite. In the last couple weeks, she won't touch any food. Not even her bugs...and she loves bugs. She refuses to drink while she is in the bath. I've only ever seen her do it once and that was when I first adopted her. She gets her water through her greens and insects. I've been having to force feed her. I've been giving her the repta-boost by Flukers, baby food, and syringing water. Since the repta-boost, she seems to have gotten a little perkier but still isn't 100%. I'm so worried about her. I have exotic vets near me but none of them are specialized in reptiles...of course. I can go to get an ultrasound and a fecal but not sure what else they can do for her. I have an appointment scheduled for this week.
She has sunken eyes and fat pads. She is very lethargic unless I am holding her or trying to feed/bathe her. Then she's up and about.
It is winter where I am and last winter she went into burmation for a couple weeks. I am not sure if she's trying that again but it is unsafe for her to do so right now.
Another thing is, I am not sure she is done laying. She keeps pushing things out that resemble eggs (every other day or so) but they aren't exactly like what she's laid before. It also smells horrid.
Her temps are 98-100 during the day and in the cool zone they are 85-75 during the day.
At night they are 75-70 cool end and 88-92.
Bulbs have about another month or two left.
She's got 2 uvb bulbs.
She is on tile. Has access to water (just in case she ever wants to drink). Tank humidity is low. Has food. Any suggestions are welcome. I just want her back to normal...
