sick dragon

I have come to the point where im pretty much positive something is wrong with Frank. He is eating much less with much less enthusiasim, if I let him he just sleeps all day away from the basking light, hardly ever poops now, and has lost a considerable amount of weight. He seems sluggish and uninterested and obviously constipated. I have given him warm baths but that didnt help anything. What do you think I should do?

Because you say the weight loss is obvious....a vet visit is certainly in order...healthy, brumating dragons don't lose a noticable amount of weight.
