My bearded dragon isn't eating, shedding, or pooping. What's wrong?

Question

Hi I have a bearded dragon named Zeus who is about a year and a half. He hasn't been eating, shedding, or using the bathroom. We often have to let him soak in water so he will use the bathroom. He sleeps a lot and often changes from lazy to somewhat active. He used to eat out of my hand now he isn't interested. He also had what looked like a scale over his eye but I soaked it with warm compresses. You can't see it now but could there be after effects? Pet's info: Reptile | Bearded Dragon | Male | unneutered | 1 year old

Thanks for reaching out about Zeus. First, check and correct environmental parameters such as temperature (day/night, high/lows, far end of the exhibit), UVB exposure and diet. If this is all correct, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Intestinal parasites or infections, metabolic disorders (liver, renal) are just a few of the problems. Starting with a fecal examination should be the first start. Good luck.
