She is just sitting there all low to the ground with one or both eyes shut. she was eating then all of a sudden just stopped. Shes still about skidish and will let me pet her but still runs from time to time however right now i can pick her up etc and she doesnt budge.
if it is impaction will she eventually get it out?
Shes on wood chips the reptile specialty store i bought her from has all their babies aswell as older ones on it. and shes been on it for a month in my house. i just put her in a warm tub of water and she had a gay ol time but didnt go to the bathroom but neither did my other one.

Get her off the wood chips right away--she very well could have an impaction! Pet stores do NOT give out accurate information, so ignore their advice. Reptiles can die from impactions--if you're not sure, go to a reptile vet asap!

If you think she's impacted try putting her in a shallow bath of warm water and rubbing her tummy. I had a dragon that got constipated from antibiotics but if she's egg impacted you may need to get her to the vet before infection sets in.

i had two bearded dragons and one did that whole eye thing. i left him like that for about a month and during that duration he would only keep one eye shut and eat very little then he had 2 eyes shut and wouldnt eat anything then he just died. id take him to the vet

You should take her to the vet. Also beardies shouldn't be on wood chips.
How large are the prey items you are feeding her? Prey items that are too large can cause paralysis.
If she's impacted she should go to the vet, she will not "eventually get it out."
Good luck with your beardie I hope all is well.
