Ok so I just lost my beardie to kidney problems. One of my others has thrown up at least 4 times already. She has an black beard and is acting normal, just pancaking on her log. I am extremely worried that something is wrong because she it throwing up. She just came out of brumation and eats here and there. Is she ok? I can send photos of the enclosure and her if it is needed please help...
Sorry to hear it. It's most likely very serious, do you have an experienced [ only ] reptile vet ? Here's how to post pics : https://www.beardeddragon.org/useruploads/ Then use the XIMG to upload them
Can you also describe her diet, how much water she gets, what type of lighting you have , what supplements you use exactly and how often ?

We don’t have or know a vet that treats just reptiles. She eats superworms, kale, collard greens, blueberries, strawberries, and had spring mix. When we gave the spring mix, it might have caused problems, do they throw up to get something out of their system? She is offered water everyday and drinks some. We have a heat lamp with a UVB mounted on the side. She hasn’t been given any supplements before. She acts normal but her beard is unusual black and I am stress it might mean she is distressed.
It's possible that she is impacted, she does look quite plump. And she would throw up if she was continuing to eat while not being able to pass her waste.

We bought the wood chips from our local pet store to replace sand and she is monitored while eating her greens.
The last time was yesterday, and she had 2 poops with just a bit of white after her normal poop and it was normal. Does she need a vet to help impaction?
We have had them for close to a year, I think they are normal wood chips that are for beardies since it came from the shop we bought her.
She just came out of brumation a couple weeks ago, and she has eaten a good amount of food, the past 2 days she hasn’t eaten anything.
She is currently perked up sunning herself in her basking spot that is at 88-90 degrees, closing and opening her eyes to look at around.
EDIT....I saw the other post that she had died, I'm so sorry. Or am I getting the 2 mixed up ? If this one is still alive what does the vomit look like ?
Yes she is still alive
It was purple ish with a little bit of red and green.
I had fed her spring mix, which turned out wasn’t good for her so I was wondering if they throw up food they can’t eat? And her beard is unusual black and yellow? I am just stressed she might be sick...
