Bearded dragon hibernation?

[Dragon2808]

Hey guys I have a female bearded dragon about a year old 14 inches and about 153 grams we took her to the vet because she had some trama to her arm and she got some med's but for a few days she been acting weird send y'all a name like every five seconds fine asleep in the bathtub so have to keep your head up I called the vet and she said that that I should bring her back in. she's been trying to poop like you can tell but she just can't go that much but she has stopped eating so I don't know was getting better until couple days ago so I don't know if like hibernation I don't know how to spell it for bearded dragons their hibernation say I was giving her a bath because the vet told me to go or a bath but every day and she falls asleep and when her beard touches the water she jerks her head up this happenes every 5 sec about thanks

How old is she? Which meds did she get? There is more information about brumation here https://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/brumation/ Does she show any of the behavior described in that article?

Yeah I think she is going into hibernation but I was just making sure she is on a pain medicine and meds for her arm I'm not sure which is wifi here but they are called enrofloxacin and metacam

At her age + with her health problem it wouldn't be brumation. Sounds like she's impacted as well as having a hurt arm. Baths are dangerous in her condition, only give her 1-2 warm supervised baths a week. Offer her some applesauce, baby food prunes or squash along with about 10 drops of veg. oil mixed in, that can help her to poo.

I agree with AHBD. It's probably related to the meds and possible impaction which can usually be cleared by the methods described. Enrofloxacin is a commonly prescribed antibiotic (generic for Baytril) and sometimes it can cause dehydration or upset stomachs which can make them lethargic. It's good to keep up hydration via drops of water on her nose which may help her feel better and pass the impaction.
