Strange behaviour???any ideas

I have dealt with many reptiles in my day mainly monitors and also very hands as well. Within the last 3 weeks my 15 month old savannah monitor whom ive had for her entire life has been acting very strangely. She is not as social (does not come out and scratch on the glass whenever i walk in the room, closes her eyes sometimes when i try call her out of her hide and just isnt herself), and just now tail whipped me when i was going to pick her up (not atrait wedgey has ever taken to) I am starting to notice hip bones at the base of her tail but she has been eating with the same ferocity as the day i got her. As well some of her stools have been very fury so i have laid off the rodents for now. Yes her diet is very varied I feed her anything that she should be fed so thijnk up anything yes i feed it to her on a very solid schedule. within the last couple days her stools have become quite a bit more digested but she continues to do something she has never has before and that is go to the washroom on the floor of her enclosure she has always defecated in her water bowl and although she continues doing that its almost as if she cant control some bowel movements and just drops partluy digested smeellly *** clumps of mouse on the floor???
I AM SO CONFUSED
i have never seen this before ever its like shes eggbound but I have never heard of female savannahs going eggbound without a mate but taht would nbot account for her loss in weight.
As well its almost liike she is having a stage of (with lack of better wording) PMS (no offense when i use this analogy) anyone have any ideas because I AM SOOOO CONFUSED.
She has been checked by a vet and is clear of any problems
has anyone seen this before any ideas would be great
i will keep you posted on her progress
thanks a lot
