Answer 1

1.  Check your basking temps--digital probe thermometer only please.  They should be 100F.

2.  How old is your UVB?  It needs to be changed every 6 months as they lose potency.  Make sure the light is not blocked by glass or plastic, as these filter all UVB.

3.  When was she last checked for parasites?  Beardies should be checked every 6 months.  

4.  What is her diet?  Do you offer a variety (at least 5 different kinds) of insect?  A balanced varied salad daily?

5.  Do you bathe/soak weekly for hydration?

6.  Do you have sand or other loose substrate?  If so she could be impacted.  

These are some of the things to check out.

I would water down dog food, use a syringe and squirt it in to her mouth. also put pedealite, not sure how to spell it, but its that water looking stuff you give kids when they are sick. squirt that in her mouth and put it in her water dish. best of luck

Answer 4

take her to the vet

Answer 5

Don't give it dog or cat food.

Answer 6

you want to take her to a vet. If for any reason you cannot do this, you will want to attempt and feed her on her own. You don't want to give it dog food though. The best thing to give a sick bearded dragon is one of two things. You can get some jump start and give her that or you can moisten then crush rep cal juvenile bearded dragon pelets and suck them up in a needleless syringe. One week of either of these and the dragon should be up and eating on her own.There may be other problems in regards to her set up, but check the net and make sure your environment for her is as it should be
