Question
My bearded dragon was doing fine. She was active and eating. I went to check on her today and she is listless and not moving. I picked her up and her limbs were limp and her mouth was slightly open. Her eyes are partially shut. I got her to eat a little bit of apple, but she won't eat her worms. Her body is very pale with dark patches. Is there anything I can do for her, or is she dying?

Answer
Hello, she may be malnourished. She needs water, get her a good amount. The dark patches are from stress on the body, she may be malnourished, sick, or worse. Make sure you soak her with water and pour some over the top of her mouth. Let me know how she progresses by day.
