My 5 month old juvenile bearded dragon very suddenly began having trouble walking. That afternoon she was eating and being her usual, active self. When i came home 4 hours later it was completely different. It is as if she is attempting to walk and moving her limbs, but she just drags her body across the floor and is avoiding moving at all costs.
She isn't lethargic, shes alert, but the extremely sudden change is very concerning for me. She gets fed crickets dusted in calcium twice a day. She is in the middle of a shed cycle as she sheds frequently. She just had a bowel movement yesterday so i know she can't be impacted. She doesn't show me signs of being in pain, but she is appearing stressed through heavy breathing. She gets adequate UVB light and I have a thermometer on the warm side of her tank to make sure she doesn't get overheated / too cold.
Any ideas of what's going on would be extremely appreciated because Im very worried
