Good job with the vet... it's the first step to take with a sick lizard.

An X-ray will reveal any impaction or eggs.
The exam should reveal much more, as will bloodwork if it's necessary.
Have you kept weight records or are you gaging the weight by the look of the animal? Use a gram scale to be sure.
