bearded dragon straining to go potty

[SkittlesK]

Hey guys
So my bearded dragon went to the bathroom yesterday & a little today.
but today she's straining to go potty & her belly gets really big when she does that.

I dunno if she has eggs she's trying to push out or if its dehydration or impaction.
anyone?

EDIT: I'm so confused she was straining earlier now she's acting fine
She just went to the bathroom yesterday & today I don't feel anything in her belly.

Hi there, if you suspect impaction try these tips :
Feed the dragon as much baby food veggies like sweet potato, squash, green bean as well as offering applesauce. In the middle of the day give her a warmer + deeper than usual bath, that can work quite well.

Okay thank you.
Today she got a bath & water.

I dunno can they strain if they just have water in there system?
Cause she did poo out a little water

If she continues to strain I will try baby food.
Will canned pumpkin or a little olive oil work the same?

 

[AHBD]

Yes, those work. The warmer than usual bath stimulates their G.I more than just a regular bath.

Okay.
Should I just not give her solids until she passes a feces?
I don't want her to go into a prolapse

 

[AHBD]

Yes, just baby foods, canned pumkin or even smoothies of all greens + water.

I dunno what to do guys
I gave her some bugs cause I thought there was no impaction
She pooped that out but no urate & I've been giving water.

She's strained after she pooped
So could there be a urate stuck or something?
I dunno what to do
I don't even know if she's impacted or not.
Should I get an x-ray for her?

 

[SkittlesK]

She's really trying to push something out when she tries to go I dunno what to do
I gave her water she should be producing urate

EDIT:
Idunno how much baby food to give or canned pumpkin I gave 2ml of each should I give more

Okay to the vet I go.
I'll let you guys know how it goes

EDIT:
Okay I sent her to the vet.
Good thing too when I got home it looked like she was prolapsing.
Some tissue pushed out of her vent.
So we'll see whats on the x-rays
I'll keep you guys updated
