My Beardie (Female) was dealing with stomach parasites. The past 2 weeks she was acting weird so last week I took her to the vet and they gave me medication for her. Today I got back from work and she was sitting on her hammock, like usual, breathing normally, being curious about every movement in my room like usual. I was on my computer and heard her move, so I looked behind me and she was walking down her log, layed below the log, kinda dug a tiny bit, and rested on her stomach.

She's done this before so I ignored it, as it didn't raise a single alarm. I went downstairs and made food, left her alone for probably around 45 minutes to an Hour. I went in my room to check on her and she was completely still, with her mouth slightly open and it was covered in sand. I pet her slowly, to see if she'd open her eyes to react, but nothing. I picked her up and she was completely motionless and not breathing. It's been 3 hours since then and her body hasn't gone stiff once, she's still limp and wobbly and her stomach is soft and squishy like always.

She hasn't ate a bunch like she used to for 2 days no matter what I tried, and she'd have diarrhea twice a day, and barely ate. I gave her the medications like how I was supposed to, spent over 600$ to make her habitat as perfect as physically possible, took her out regularly, played guitar for her which always made her smile, so I am hoping it wasn't something I messed up on.

Her color hasn't faded despite it being hours since she supposedly passed on, but I'm hoping so hard she is still alive. I kept her temperature perfect, kept her hydrated, and bought her brand new lights

I dont know what happened at all in that hour or anything, is this some behavior I just don't know about or do I give up and bury her. I don't want to accept she's gone so I've been frantically checking ever corner of the internet to see if I can do anything. Is she actually dead? Is this some weird hibernation type thing Beardies do? I just need to know soon

She has passed on, took a while, but she went stiff and had dried blood on her nose and mouth this morning. Burying her tomorrow
