Help - concerned about impaction

Hi everyone,

My tegu started laying on her side today in her enclosure. She went to the bathroom earlier today and passed a urate with plenty of pee, however she has looked like she was trying to pass something several times since then. I soaked her once already for about 20 minutes and will be doing it again soon to see if it helps. She has not gone poop in about 8 days, so I'm getting worried. Please, ant help would be appreciated.

Thank you

I'd soak her for longer than 20 mins just keep checking the water temps. I don't fill it to the point they can't touch but I've had sev soak for an hour or more and he's always gone in there. But I don't think he's ever been impacted sorry can't help much more on that front.
