my 4 year old dragon threw up his crickets earlier this week and today he was slept all day and i had a hard time waking him up. his beard is grey and black and he has a hard spot on his right side of his stomach. i have done some research and am soaking him in a warm bath now. and as of doing this he has poss like matter coming from his vent.

Have you been monitoring the basking temperatures. It is most accurate to use an infrared temperature gun. I think for adults the hot spot should be 105F.

what would this have anything to do with him popping pus ?

Hello,

What do you mean he has puss coming out of his vent? Do you mean his stool is just really loose?
How long has his beard been black or grey?
What foods have you been feeding him, just crickets? Be sure to allow at least 2 hours for him to digest or he may have trouble digesting & have trouble with his tummy.
How is he doing this evening?
The hard spot on the right side of his tummy, is that on the outside of his tummy or internal?
Post pictures of him if you can.

an update for this morning he is barely breathing and unresponsive is bread looks some what less black but not by much. the hard spot seems to be internal i am going to try giving him some unsweetened applesauce. besides this i don't know what to do there doesn't seem to be any vets in my area that deal with reptiles.

no he eats greens along with the crickets

when we soaked him in the warm bath a yellowish white pus came but it was just a little bit

You sure the puss wasn't yellow tinged urates? A hard belly could be an impaction. Warm soaks, some olive oil or mineral oil orally might help things pass. But since your dragons throwing up, having breathing problems, lethargic and only passing urates a vet visit sounds like a good idea. Superworms or mealworms are hard to digest, which can cause vomiting and impactions. So lay off those for awhile and only use them in small amounts.
