What is happening with my bearded dragon? Why is she moving like that.

[Toadleagend]

Hello, my bearded dragon is most likely gravid. So, I was giving her some repti-boost because she was not eating well. I let her lap it up with her tongue. I sprayed her afterward because she got real dirty. I think it might of upset her. Then she started moving her leg weird. And moving her arm real far back. Somewhat like a digging motion. Scooting across the floor. She looked itchy sometimes too. She was walking perfectly fine until then. And I believe she walked up to her basking fine now. I’m not sure what just happened. I don’t think I’ll do the reptiboost anymore I’m just having a lot of trouble getting her to eat this time. It started with her kicking her legs after I sprayed her.

Ok, thank you very much!!! It wasnt that she wasn’t pooping. More like I could see her squeezing and wiggling every so often all day until she finally poops.

It's probably more that all those muscles are tired after laying like you mentioned

Ok, thank you very much!!! That makes more sense than a sore butt

She still doesn’t always want food. But, I can get her to eat occasionally. Thank you!

I think her appetite improved a bit from yesterday too. She accepted food a lot more often today. Especially in the morning till the afternoon

Hello,

That is good to hear her appetite has improved
a little bit. You should be able to determine fairly soon if she is going to lay again.

Ok, thank you very much much!! She pooped yesterday. It was very very big. She was eating greens very well Tuesday morning-afternoon. But, then she needed to poop. Now I’m having a bit of trouble again with the greens. Crickets seem good. She likes to eat them on a tiny log sometimes. But, it takes me a couple to a few minutes to get her intrigued. Her beard also keeps being darker/ grey in the afternoon

Her appetite improved well throughout today. Now it is back to how it was Tuesday. I’ve also seen her twitch/ move in her stomach sometimes over the past few days. It happened a few times yesterday. Only once today. Is that because she had a big poop and just laid eggs? She also puffed a lot today.

Yes, that's all fine. And her appetite will come + go, that's normal. They have a lot more food available in captivity so they bcan be picky at times or just not hungry.

Hello,

It sounds like she is doing well now after laying.
As AHBD stated, they do have various appetites & it may take some time for it to normalize after laying eggs. I am glad to hear she is eating her greens also.

Hello,

That's great to hear she is eating well! At least
she didn't have as much trouble going potty this
time.
It sounds like she is improving!
