Beardie won't eat

[lovebeardies]

Help! It's been 2.5 weeks. Had her to the vet and awaiting bloodwork, but won't hear for a few more days:-( X-ray was taken, with no sign of egg binding or impaction. Any ideas folks???

For the past 2 yrs, Taco start brumentaion in July/August, which lasted a good 3 months (she notmally sleeps/hides the entire time unless I wake to give weekly bath and usually eats). I thought she seemed to start burmentation like usual in late July, but just did it a little different. She was sleeping 2 days on, awake and eating for a day, then repeat. Then for the last 2.5 weeks - she won't eat at all, but is fully AWAKE! We are force feeding her stuff for the past few days the vet gave us. She is ALERT and not hiding, no sign of stress, use powersun UVB (it's about 8 months old, says they are good for a year), temp is about 95. Vet says she appears in great health, so it's a mystery why she won't eat. Having a hard time waiting for bloodwork.

Any ideas would be helpful!!!

It's a good sign that she is alert and there weren't any signs of egg binding. Has she lost any weight? I'd keep close track of her weight using a kitchen scale so you can monitor the trends. That's usually a good indicator of overall health. Which Powersun wattage do you have? How far is it from the basking area?

I'd try to set up a gradient of heat offering a basking area that is about 100-105 with areas around that in the 90s like you have, and a cool side of about 75-80 which will give her lots of options.
