it was suggested i read 'liver diseases in Bearded Dragons' and i have to say while reading it i was mentally ticking some boxes so im pretty confident in thinking this might have been what she had in which case i probably had no chance to save her but still wonder 'what if?'
Some ADV-positive dragons end up with damaged livers and intestines, are always on the thin side and sleep a lot more than a virus-free dragon…YES
. In some ADV-positive dragons, the virus spreads to the brain and spinal column, and causes a twitching of the toes and tail tip, arching of the head and tail (sometimes known as stargazing), seizures, uncontrolled rolling in the enclosure and death….YES noticed these since bringing her inside but is possible they were also happening when she was outside just i never seen them
Other dragons may have flare-ups and lose their appetite, sleep a lot, have diarrhea or constipation, and may even develop swellings of the belly or beneath the chin….YES to all but more constipation then diarrhea

[FONT="]Appears too weak to stand on its front legs…YES don’t ever remember a time when I seen her standing up on her front legs and walking around though I know she could move herself around the enclosure [/FONT]again just put it down to being weak
