Lost a lot of weight through Brumation

Hello all,

I'm a little worried of how much weight my dragon has lost during Brumation. I have kept her hydrated as best I could but she is still pretty sleepy and not eating much. Her fat pads have also sunken in and she has been this way for the last couple of months. Should I take her to the vet to be safe? Thoughts? She is a year old and I am confident in the lighting and heat in her enclosure.

Yes to a vet visit. If she's losing weight, she potentially has parasites, or something else is wrong that needs intervention.
