Pet's info: Reptile | Bearded Dragon | Female

My bearded dragon isn’t eating and hasn’t pooped in like 2 weeks. And the last time she pooped it was only a little bit. I try warm baths And massaging her but nothing has helped.

She could be impacted, especially if she is on a sand bedding, you can try giving her laxatives such as parafin oil and cat hairball paste 3 times a day, i do recommend taking her to the vet to get it confirmed before you do that, an xray will confirm it if she has sand impaction.
