Tail issues!!

[Ellwie]

My bearded dragon that is a dwarf just came out from her winter sleep and I noticed that her ass was sagging, at first I thought it was poop stuck in there so I gave her a bath and she took a **** but it’s still sagging. Idk if it looks like that cuz she’s skinny cuz she haven’t eaten in a while cuz of her winter sleep or whatever it’s called but I’m worried something is wrong with her and I don’t know what to do and I’m scared something might be sick. I posted pictures in a different post

A few crickets but avoid any mealworms or superworms right now , they can cause impaction. Hydration is needed because of the possible impaction that she has right now.
Also, how do you measure the temperature ? If you have 180 watts of light it seems like it would cause it to go up too high.

Hi there, sometimes a Rankin's dragon is also called a dwarf. At 30 cm she is and adult Rankin's, a dwarf.
She might be fine after she gets hydrated and will poo more easily. Just offer her water and maybe smoothies that have a lot of water in them. Can you post a picture of her whole set up ? Is she acting O.K ?

Oh, I get it.

The solar glo is supposed to be good but have had some issues w/ them here in the past couple of months- eye issues so far - what kind of uvb fixture? Did you say you have a long tube fixture--- mvb's are good for heat but not so much uvb- we always recommend another uvb for back up- as long as your getting good surface basking temps and taken w/ a digital probe thermometer your good - it's the uvb we need to fix - let me know so I can help you- we want her eating and getting back to health-

The Exo Terra Solar glo is good for Advance Research.
Can cause eye problems if too close to the Dragon.

Try some BSFL & Small Silkworms that go down easily for Rankins Dragons.
Avoid foods too big than the space between his eyes.

Oh, I get it.

It's probably difficult to take care of a Rankins dragon.
There is not much research or scientific backing for it.
We just know they are Dwarfs and people do own them.

I wouldn't feed a Rankin anything larger than the space between his eyes.

Another note:
Silk backs look fun.
Def. need some type of shed ease product.

Hello,

Are you located in Australia or the UK?
I am not real familiar with the dwarf bearded dragons, but, they are kept like bearded dragons
are for pets.
It does appear to be some type of impaction, as AHBD suggested. Try to get her hydrated as
best you can right now. If she was brumating some & lost any weight, she might not have digested
food properly, but not sure.
Feed softer foods right now, to see if you can get the impaction to pass. Try olive or coconut oil,
mixed with a bit of canned pumpkin & sugar free applesauce given a few times weekly.

Let us know how she is doing.
