Egg Bound

So my bearded dragon Damien laid 2 eggs a few weeks back. I think the last egg was maybe April 27th. The eggs were laid 2 days apart. I took her in for xrays 3-4 weeks before that because she stopped eating and was digging but we saw no eggs. Now that she laid two, she would eat a little, then ignore food for a week, and eat a little, on and off. Her bones are starting to show but she ate 7 superworms yesterday and 8 today. She mostly sleeps in her cage but if I take her out, she'll run around like crazy and sometimes dig in corners. It's been so long since the last egg, I'm not sure if she's still egg bound. In the event that she does still have eggs, will they just be reabsorbed into her body or will she require surgery? Contemplating taking her in for more xrays to see if there are visible eggs...

Poor Damie [ and you ! ] No, eggs can not be reabsorbed once they are shelled, only if they are in the follicle stage. You can take her for X-rays to ease your mind but I don't think she'd eat if she were eggbound....it's good that she ate !

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
