Hello, I'm trying to figure out when impaction has occurred and when a vet visit is needed. Our beardie Errtu has been trying to brumate for the past 4 months but we've been preventing it because of his age at the time and just getting over a high parasite count. He eats very little now and has only had bm every 10 days or so but now we are on day 17 and he hasn't gone feels bloated and appears to be in pain because he doesn't want to move. 2 days ago I started giving him stage 1 pumpkin baby food. No luck. Yesterday the same with a little olive oil mixed in and a warm bath with no luck. I work 3rd shift and it is 5am here so I'm looking for suggestions for today. We still make sure he basks and everything. He likes being out of the enclosure more than sleeping but if he us put in and sees he's not going to be taken right out he will hide and sleep. Basically I need to know when this is an issue thst needs to be addressed by a vet. All he eats now idms a few superworms a week so I can get calcium in him dusted on them. They are the only bugs he will eat now. Oh yea yesterday he also had 2 large hornworms that I injected with olive oil. Thanks in advance!
