I think something is wrong

So my bearded dragon, Skrt, has been acting a little weird lately. She stays at my boyfriend’s house, and she’s been staying under her rock for days. She will occasionally come out, but we thought it best to just leave her alone. Is she brumating even though it’s august and hot? I’m confused, I thought it was for the cold months...
My boyfriend went out of town, so Skrt is staying with me. I noticed her eyes are watery. Like she has tears. She’s been drinking plenty of water and eating regularly, and hasn’t been hiding under her rock. Around her eyes are getting kind of crusty, and I can’t tell if it’s just shedding or not. She usually wouldn’t shed ONLY on her eyes.
Also, I was watching her sleep, and her mouth is slightly open. Like not like she’s basking, but just barely cracked.

PLEASE HELP. I don’t know if these are all just coincidences or if I should really be worried! She’s my first beardie and I don’t know much about their health problems.

Eye problems can usually be attributed to improper lighting or something getting in them such as sand if you use sand.

Can you go over your lighting setup with us and be specific? Brand and type of uvb bulb?
Are you using a bulb at night?

Can you post a picture of your setup and of skrt for us?

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
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
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
