Bearded Dragon Egg

Hi, i just rescued this severely neglected bearded dragon. She severely malnourished, underweight and shaky when she tries to move. As soon as i put her in a 20 gal quarantine enclosure she now wont move much but she keeps her head up and looks around. She always keeps her mouth open when in her enclosure and the basking spot isn’t that hot. She just sits there with her mouth open and wont ever close it much. Also, I feed her alot but she wont poop so im scared to feed her more even tho she needs it. Is there anyway to stim a malnourished thin bearded dragons bowels carefully?
I dont know how old she is due to past owners not knowing but they said maybe 2 years. Shes super small though so i dont know. The heat gets to about 93.4 to 95°F and humidity is 30-35ish. I tried the 150W and the heat gets to 105°F which is amazing but then the humidity drops down to 10 and i tried using water bowls but nothing seems to help.
The UVB she’s using is an Arcadia T5 Tub 12% over screen top. She will get calcium on her food every other day.
I just rescued her yesterday but her diet will be: Mealworms, Waxworms and superworms (havent feed the waxworms or superworms to her yet) Greens/veggies: Mustard greens, cucumbers and yellow squash (i havent feed her the squash or mustard greens yet). Shes eating cucumbers for hydration and the mealsworms as for now.
Shes also not eating on her own so i have to carefully put the food in her mouth then she starts eating.
She has a vet visit today so ill update this afterwards.
Ill take any advice
I need help, thanks.
