The provided sources do not contain specific diagnostic criteria, imaging findings, or treatment protocols for intestinal impaction in bearded dragons. The sources available cover intestinal torsion and volvulus through mesenteric rupture Journal of Herp…, intestinal microsporidiosis Journal of the…, general reptile radiographic and ultrasonographic technique MSD Vet Manuals, and an overview of bearded dragon clinical pathology Veterinary Clin… — none of which address impaction diagnosis or management with the specificity needed to give you accurate, actionable guidance.

What the sources do support is that dorsoventral radiography is a first-line imaging modality in lizards and can identify intestinal impaction as a coelomic finding MSD Vet Manuals, and that bearded dragons are stoic animals in which clinicopathologic workup is valuable for timely disease identification Veterinary Clin…. Beyond those general points, specific impaction diagnostic cutoffs, substrate risk factors, laxative protocols, enema volumes, or surgical indications are not described in the available material.

Providing fabricated doses or protocols would be a patient safety risk. For a complete evidence-based approach to bearded dragon intestinal impaction, I recommend consulting a dedicated exotic animal internal medicine or reptile medicine reference such as Mader's Reptile and Amphibian Medicine and Surgery or the relevant chapter in Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice.

Would you like guidance on radiographic positioning technique for evaluating the bearded dragon coelomic cavity, which is covered in the available sources?
