Female Bearded Dragon - Constipation

[Angel Kross]

Hello, my bearded dragon is only 1 year. She has been having some problems emptying out her bowel for sometime now. I took her to see a vet. They assisted her in emptying herself out. They stated she does have eggs inside of her. In which case could be slowing her up quite a bit. So I've been trying to soak her and even massaging her stomach. Though I'm afraid of irritating her eggs that are within her. So I've been trying to avoid massaging her too much and mostly been soaking her. The vet suggested getting her spayed but I won't be doing that. As it is a huge No-No to do...UNLESS they have an underlying medical issue. Which she doesn't have any. So if possible are there any solutions on how I could help give her some relief with this? Any help would be much appreciated. The photos of both her and her enclosure are below.

Do you have a UVB light? Is that a birdcage?

Yes I have both a uvb and a heat light. Also yes it's a enclosed birdcage that I made for her and my other dragon.

Here is the response I got
Hi there, she's a pretty bright yellow girl ! How long did she not go poo so that the vet thought to " help." If they did an enema, never allow that again. An enema can and does kill beardies at times, some vets just are too eager to rush things that can 99% of the time come out with natural laxatives like canned pumpkin, baby food squash/sweet potato/green bean , unsweetened applesauce along with a few drops of olive oil or raw honey. Then a warmer than usual 5 minute soak.
As for your cage, that's not really a good way to house a reptile. Did you say there are 2 in there ? You can't keep the heat gradient from 100 in the basking spot to 90 close by , then 80 at the coolest point. The wire frame can also catch + tear out their nails.
A vet that right off wants to spay may be out for the $$, a spay should only be done if the dragon is egg bound.....lethargic, black beard, looking swollen, etc.
You need to set up a laybox for her. BTW, how did you determine that she is carrying eggs ?
