Who's the prettiest queen?

She actually didn't kill me for putting the skirt on her (I expected that), she kinda slayed and her vet loved her look.

She took a shit on it later though.

Worried lizard mom

Guys I'm on mobile, English is not my native tongue so sorry about any mistakes. I'm wondering and in desperate need of advice.

My beardie just underwent 2 surgeries. One a month ago to remove her ovaries and the eggs that overstayed their welcome (they turned into stones or something like that, idk im not a vet). Then i had vet appointments every week for 3 weeks for the vet to give her antibiotics. The second one was to remove an abscess that formed around her intestines and now she has a different antibiotic that i need to give her in the form of injections (every 48h). She's also constantly in the process of shedding skin from different parts of her body.

Her vets are amazing women that I trust completely and i know that they're taking good care of her, but im still kinda worried about her not wanting to walk as much as b4 and eating her greens. She really enjoys crickets, although she started ignoring them in favour of 'dubia' (some kind of a cockroach). I give her water by spraying her, but the greens are her mortal enemies and she's very offended when I try to feed them to her. B4 the surgeries she enjoyed walking a lot and did walkies with my boyfriend around the whole damn room, even managed to stomp her way over a plate filled with pasta and had orange paws for weeks. She's a very sassy girl and always tries to run from her vets during ultrasounds. So yeah, I'm rambling a bit but do y'all think that those behaviour differences may be the results of her still feeling shitty?

Edit: thanks great ppl of Reddit for informing me about cat saliva being a danger to my beautiful girl. Her bowels work perfectly, even after the surgery it took her only 10h to leave a giant poop behind her at the vets office. She poops every day, sometimes even twice a day when she was really spoiled with food. The cat also did never lick her, which I'm now so so so grateful for. Rn im giving her antibiotic injections and I'm freaking myself out over what could've been if i allowed the cats to still be around her. I also vacuum her terrarium every week to get rid of possible cat hair, leftover cricket legs and whatnot. And ofc i clean any poop stains with water with a drop of vinegar and let it air out b4 allowing her back in. Unfortunately i can't give her a bath for at least another month cause of the risk that she'll soak the skin around the stitches and rip them out. Her temperatures in the tank are between 24-42° (measured at the surface). I've found out that if she's not basking then she's enjoying the temperature in the range of 30-32°. I also plan on taking her on lil walkies in the garden when she's healed. Only then will i risk getting murdered by this sassy mini trex for putting her in such a disgraceful situation. Edit 2: GUYS I PUT HER ON A SCALE TODAY AND SHE IS NOW 271G!!!! For context, after her 1st surgery she was 210g. I only got her in february so I'd like to make it clear, that im not the one that did it to this beautiful girl.
