Can someone help me figure out what could be wrong

Posted here a couple days ago about my bearded dragons stool having the appearance of a bit of red and mushy, as well as a bit undigested. I saw this today in her tank today. I made her a vet appointment but they can’t see her unt next week. How concerning is this? What could be the cause? I have likely over hydrated her recently, is it possible she’s just been too hydrated?

What are you feeding, and how are your lights set up. Over hydration can cause the watery bit, but the urate looks a little concerning. Please go over your setup and your beardies diet so maybe if something is off it can get corrected 🙂

I normally feed collard greens and Dubai roaches a couple of times a week. But a couple of days ago I fed broccoli and after that is when the issues seem to be happening. When I do feed veggies though I normally put some water in the bowl as well so that’s why I wonder if it’s over hydration. Heating lamp is at 102, uvb was just replaced a day ago after these issues started happening. Does this at all look like impaction? I have also posted her previous sto in my last post before this one. I just can’t figure out what would cause this. She’s acting totally normal and eating as she always does.

Honestly greens should be offered every day. Broccoli 🥦 should be in very small quantities if at all. The staples should be, collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, and dandelion greens in some combination of the four. Kale, arugula ect can also ge used.
It's not likely going to be any kind of impaction because she is still passing urates.
102 is a decent temp. What are you using for uvb? Long tube or compact? Long isxwhat is needed, the compact bulbs are inadequate.
How old is your beardie? If it is young it needs insects more than a few times per week.
Maybe try mixing your insects also. Offer superworms and dubias, or a few hornworms (but they can cause watery stools)
If you can collect a sample of the poop in a zip lock baggy and get it to the vet, they can check for parasites. Dont pay a ridiculous amount though, around here it runs about 45 to 50 dollars. (Some parasites cause runny stools also)

Okay I won’t offer broccoli anymore. It’s a long tube. She is 3 and a half. I’ll bring her stool into the vet. Thanks for your help. I’m hoping it’s nothing too serious. If it was serious, do you think she’d still be running around and eating? She’s acting totally normal.

They can hide sickness until it's serious sometimes, so I would be afraid to say that. But as a rule of thumb if they are still active and acting normal they're probably ok.

Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
