Just dehydrated or something worse? UPDATED

[mschuller87]

My bearded dragon, Phoenix, is 2 years old and just went to the vet last week for her annual check up. The vet said everything looked good and she was healthy. This morning when I checked on her she had no color in her body really, just plain yellow, her eyes were sunk in, she has no energy at all and won't even open her eyes or respond to stimuli barely.

Her housing:
40g breeder
Tile substrate
24" 10.0 UVB light
100 Watt intense basking heat light
107 basking spot
95 warm side
80 cool side
humidity 40%
big wood hide
rocks to climb on
wood to climb on

UPDATE: Took her to the vet. Nothing showed on x-ray. They took blood samples, but won't know the results for a few days. They tried to inject fluids into her stomach and there was blood in it. They are afraid it may be cancer or organ failure

I'm sorry your dragon is worrying you. 107 might be a bit too warm for a 2 year old. Try 100-102. Have you given her a bath or tried giving her water orally with a syringe?

We gave her a 20 minute bath and about 1.5cc of a gatorade/water mixture through a syringe (1:2 ratio), so water heavy.

I'm sorry to hear that your beardie is having some problems, hope it turns out to be nothing serious.

Good that you gave her a bath and got some liquids into her. I did a search on the ingredients in gatorade and this is what I found.

water, sugar, table salt, carbohydrates, electrolytes (110 mg sodium, 30 mg potassium, 93 mg chloride), high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, glucose, fructose, and sugar.

It would be better to give Pedialyte. Those ingredients are

Ingredients: water, dextrose; less than 2% of: potassium citrate, sodium chloride, sodium citrate, citric acid and zinc gluconate.

You could use the clear Pedialyte and bathe your beardie in it. And, could also add a little 100% juice (no sugar added) to it like apple, grape, cranberry or cherry to see if your beardie would lick some off its nose too.

I agree with Esther that the 107 temp may be too warm for your 2 yr old beardie. Could you fill us in on the type of thermometer you're using?
