Bearded dragon newbie here.
On Monday my baby beardie (7 inches long, not more than 3 months old) barely ate, I thought maybe something just made her mad so I wasn't too worried about it. Tuesday she wouldn't eat all. Now today, Wednesday, she STILL won't eat. She will take water still and her last poop was on Tuesday morning (it looked normal and had a urate) but no poop today. She has started very rarely making clicking sounds when drinking water, and she clicked when I picked her up a few hours ago. She also looks slightly bloated even though she hasn't eaten anything. She is still basking, though in a very lethargic manner. She is still moving around the temperature gradient when too hot/too cold. She is so dark and looks so sad. I don't know what else I can do for her. She sees the vet tomorrow morning but I'm so scared I will wake up tomorrow and she will have passed Does this sound like a URI? Is there anything I can do for her right now tonight to ensure she makes it to the vet tomorrow?
Background: I was at petsmart 2 months ago and saw a sad all-black little baby dragon. Knowing nothing about dragons or even reptiles, but knowing enough to see that she was sickly/unhappy, I immediately bought a 10G tank kit at the (bad) advice of an employee, bought her, and brought her home. Over time I have been trying my best to learn about them and do everything I can for her. She has a thrive UVB lamp (bad I know, I have been trying to make up for it by taking her outside in direct sunlight for an hour every day, I sit with her) and a basking lamp in a 10G tank (the original kit I bought). Her temps stay 105 in her basking area and humidity stays 15-20% during the day, spikes up to about 45% at night. She eats primarily dubia roaches but gets crickets & superworms as treats. She can't be older than 3 months. She was under 4 inches when I got her, and near 7 inches now. Last Friday we finally got our tax return and have bought her a 40 gallon and are just waiting for the Reptisun T5 10.0 UVB and Hood to come in (already ordered) to set her up in it.
