My Beardie is not acting "normal"

Beardie name(s)
Drogon
For him...
Not sure how old he is, but we recently had a cold snap here. Winter in Florida. Dragons night Temps shipped to 65°-68° Readme, nothing too concerning, and he basked and gapped on his hammock, occasionally dropping to his cool zone... sometimes for lengths of time i thought was too long, so I'd return him to his basking spot and he'd feel cold when it's move him.
He is eating, but minimally, and only dedicates if I put him in the sink in warm water.
But what's really odd and out of character for him is he's started head bobbing a LOT. And his throat is black much more than EVER before.
Nothing has changed externally for him.

The head bobbing is a mating thing - and hes sporting a black beard - is there another female or dragon in the house that he can see? the not eating could be associated w/ the mating behavior -- what kind of UVB are you using coil or a long tube fixture ? what are his surface basking temps and how are you getting them? Stick ons are inaccurate

Surgery, Blood transfusion, Internal bleeding (potentially) not confirmed, Sudden onset anemia, potential aneurism etc. Echo stayed in the hospital overnight and the dr did not have good news when she called to update me today. I’m not 100% sure that I made the right decision by coming to pick her up (against what the dr recommended) but she was in far worse condition since having dropped her off. Help! 2nd opinion!?
The basking side of my tank isn't getting up to the suggested 100degrees. Does that mean I need to get a new basking light?
does her poop look healthy?
In your perspective does my baby bearded dragon look healthy or unhealthy? Does she look bloated? she is active and eats very well also she is in her basking spot all day
