I have an 8 year old bearded dragon. She recently started loosing weight took her to the vets and found out she was egg bound. Had an operation to remove the eggs/mass and now she is post op. My concern is we are trying to get her to gain weight and its been about 3 days but we are having to force feed her and wondered how long it takes for an adult bearded dragon to gain weight? She still doesn’t eat on her own and doesn’t eat bugs. We have also offered her water and she had a little bit still looks dehydrated but she had had plenty of water and food that we were given from the vets. I’m just worried. Does it take slot out of a bearded dragon to heal therefore makes sense why she always tired and am I just being to worried and should give her more time to gain weight? We make sure her bulb/enclosure is 30 degrees while she healing and feed her 4/5 times a day and every other day give her a shot of water. I just don’t know if we are doing something wrong. She had another vet appointment Friday. The vet never said anything previously and she looked fine and her mouth is pink.
