Is my Bearded Dragon impacted, gravid, or egg bound?

Finley is a 5 year old beardie. she laid eggs in 2020, but not since then. I took her to the vet about a month ago because she hasnt been eating any veggies of any kind (which is rare) and only will sometimes eat live. The test came back with a high glucose of 660 and the specialist thought it was a tumor but her x-rays looked fine. I did two separate glucose tests after that and the levels are back to normal. Which means the tumor is less of a chance. the most recent test, my vet asked the specialist what she thinks and the specialist asked if she's ever laid eggs before. My vet suggests putting her on doxycycline for antibiotics and anti-inflammatory or get an ultrasound. But im really tight on money after paying so much for tests:(. As of now, she is not eating still, only mealworms & the critical care food (the vet suggested) ive been giving her. Her stomach has gotten bigger and in the test results it says her calcium and albumin is high, which can indicate her being gravid. But I don't feel any eggs on her stomach. Is it possible she's egg bound, impacted, or gravid. Maybe even parasites? Someone please help:(

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
