Hey all, hoping for some input.
I took both my beardies to the vet today for the first time. I visited their mobile office, so testing options were limited.
Richter got a clean bill of health besides possible pin worms, and was administered an oral dose of dewormer.
Simon, however, the vet took out and was concerned about how round she is right away. She advised she may be carrying eggs (infertile) or retaining fluid. I initially took them both for a check up due to Simon having no appetite and straining to use the restroom. She administered oral dewormer and a full syringe of a dark red/brown gel that I do not recall the name to. She asked if Simon did not poop in two weeks to have her come to her office for an X-ray.
Those more experienced, does this sound plausible? This is my first time seeing a reptile vet, and she does have bearded dragon experience. She did state Simon had way too much energy to be impacted and was really leaning to carrying eggs, however could not feel any lumps, just "fluid"

Hasn't been too interested in food for about 2 weeks, but will eat a few insects a day and I've been feeding her baby food squash via dropper. Seems thirsty often, passes only yellow tinted urates with a pathetic amount of poo. Not gaining or losing weight.
Input is appreciated
