Hi, I am new to the board. I got my bearded dragon about a month ago(were assuming her birthday is around the 1st of January) and so far everything has been great.. We've been feeding her crickets, greens(butter lettuce, Romaine lettuce, Carrot), the hard juvenile bd food, and snacks of different fruits(I recently ordered some silk worms that should be coming soon) but as of a few days ago she hasn't been acting like herself, for a while I was suspecting it of being metabolic bone disease but now I am not so sure. It started with her having 1 loose bowel on Friday so we kinda decided to watch her and see what happened. the rest of the day she was fine, ate normal and was very active. Yesterday(Saturday) I noticed she hadn't eaten any food at all so I tried coaxing her into eating something to no avail, I figured it had something to do with shedding.. I gave her a warm bath and that's when it seemed like she was going into seizures, its only in her head and it just shakes. now its anytime she gets stressed or gets picked up. I am kind of worried about it being metabolic bone disease(she doesn't have any bone defects or lumps anywhere) she has massive diarrhea and she wont eat anything and she just sleeps all the time(I managed a little bit of baby food today) I don't know what to do, I am going to go to the vets office tomorrow when it opens! I am so scared for her, I don't want to lose her! Any suggestions would be awesome!!!
thank you in advance!!

oh also I want to add our city water has fluoride in it, I didn't think about that until just a little bit ago.
Her cage is normally 101-105 at the hot end and 90 cool end in the daytime and around 75 at night.
we use zilla blue uva 75 watt bulb a regular heat bulb and Zilla red light for at night(not sure of the wattage)
we also have a heat pad on her warm side of the cage
