Yesterday afternoon my dragon became impacted, so i took it to the vet. She got him to poop out most of it. Then the dragon went again last night. It hasn`t eaten anything since the impaction. Today it is acting funny. It will crawl around on your hand one minute and the next her fingers and legs will start quivering. She doesn`t act like she`s impacted but she is still acting kind of funny. I can`t see how she could still be impacted after all of that.

how old is your dragon? explain his set up, temps, what size crickets do you feed? do you supplement? substrate? etc..
make sure rigth now you are keeping him very well hydrated, go get some pedialyte and give that to him via dropper or even just off the tip of your finger if you dont have a dropper, drop it on his nose and he should lap it up. i would be concerned with the quivering, did you take him to a herp vet? is your vet open today?

The quivering is likely due to low blood calcium or d3 levels. If it is eating well, dust the food with a calcium supplement that has d3 in it. Some natual sunlight wouldn't hurt either, but would be pointless if it not getting calcium in it's diet.
good luck
