What kind of diet are you feeding her? This is important. Pay attention to whether or not she is drinking. You say she hides under the furniture. Do you mean your furniture outside of the cage? Give her some place to hide inside her cage. Try not to handle her too much right now. At least until she shows some sign of improvemnt. And I also do not recommend the use of heat rocks. I have only used them when used with a thermostat. I learned this the hard way,when my first Iguana received thermal burns from one. If she is prefering to lie on the rock and not bask under the light, if it were me I think I would remove the heat rock. She needs that light to produce Vitamin D3. PLEASE make sure her diet is good. There are many sites on the web that can provide you with good diets. I'll e mail you the one I use and my Iguana loves (It's called the MKSalad) if you'd like me too. And if no improvement soon
absolutely search out a Reptile vet with experience. Hope this helps. Good luck and let me know if you'd like the diet info.
