Egg Yolk Peritonitis? Egg break? Help!

[Peachy114]

For the past few weeks, my bearded dragon hasnt been able to poop without me giving her a bath. Today it was one of those qeeks and she looked pretty fat so i gave her a bath. But when shee pooped she also pooped out this yellow stuff! Is this egg yolk?? I have no idea what it is and im very scared. More information is that one of her light broke and dhes been staying under the one that works. She akso hasnt been eating much of her food sometimes. I think 1 is beacuse its now summer and food molds easily and 2. The fruit flies. Trying to get rid of them. She also has been EXTREMLY hungry. She wont eat out of the bowl a lot but she tries eating everything else. I feed her dubia roaches and i judt fed her a small wax worm. When shes not trying to eat everything shes just sitting there. What do I do??

Maybe message Tracie @Drache613 she is a vet tech and probably the most likely to know whats up. She is on late nights though

What does her daily diet look like?

What have her activity levels been like lately?
How old is she and has she ever laid eggs before?

I been feeding her bok choy, green beans and brussle sprouts, and i gave her quite a lot of fruit on sunday but she didnt eat too much of it. I also give her 4 dubia roaches a week. I akso replace her bowl every 3 days.

Shes usually is basking for the whole time until she sees movement or when i open her tank, then she gets all jumpy and tries to eat everything. Shes around 2 years old and she laid egg before but she never has the average amount. One day she lays 3, few weeks she lays 8, i think the most she had at once was 9-10

Were any of the fruits you fed her yellow? I'd look at the diet first to rule out it being food that was passed. If she hasn't ate anything yellow then it's going to be egg yolk most likely.

It wouldn't hurt to provide her a dig box right now and see what she does. Make sure the sand or soil mix you use is the consistency of sand castle building sand to allow her to burrow without the substrate collapsing.

OHH ok so i did feed her a tiny bit of mango, but i dont think i fed her that much, just a tiny peice. I tried to put her into the dig box but she wanted out. Ill try again when she wakes up. If it is egg yolk, should i be worried??

I would imagine it's mango then.. From the picture, it looked slightly fibrous, which is why I asked about the food.

She would have other symptoms too if she had peritonitis.

Thank you so much! Its the first that this happened so i got really worried. Might just calm down on the mango for a while too lol

Hello,

It appears to be mango right now. I agree, she would have other issues going on if a yolk would
have burst internally.
How is she doing today?
