Hasn't Eaten & She's Vomiting Brown.

[answerthequestion]

Hey guys, looking for some help here, My female bearded dragon, 5 years of age has recently stopped eating for past couple of days. Spraying her to keep her hydrated, giving her warm baths in the case of digestive problems but she has been vomiting (dripping out the sides her mouth) brown water like liquid, anyone have a clue? Thanks.
btw, she hasn't pooed either for couple of days, she's in a lethargic state. Could be digestive infection?

Passed away 5 minutes ago, she released brown liquid from her mouth before she started to daze off. I think she had a infection in her stomach, feeling her stomach near her left leg felt quite solid, hardening of an organ could have caused body failure? In any case, may she rest in peace. 5-6 years strong! She has left a dozen of her children for me to look after

I'm so sorry to hear that. It's tough to lose one like that. I'm glad she was able to leave you with the next generation to love and enjoy.

Poor baby. Sorry for your loss. We lost our 6 year old angel yesterday with some similarity.

I am very sorry for your loss.

because you have other bearded dragons:
Please remember UVB bulbs should be changed every 6 months. Most people here use and recommend the Reptisun tube 10.0 bulb.

Sand isn't a good substrate and can cause impaction.

Baths are better than misting. Frequent misting can cause upper respiratory infections.

Food shoukd still be occasionally dusted with vitamins and calcium.

Please read and refer to the bearded dragon care sheet. http://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/caresheet/
