Re: My Beardie's leg looks swollenAlso...it feels like his left knee has a little ball in it
Re: My Beardie's leg looks swollenIt does look a little swollen. Does he put weight on it or walk differently? Has his behavior changed at all?
Re: My Beardie's leg looks swollenHe's not putting any weight on it...it's definitely swollen and looks like his foot and toes too! Left a message for vet but none are open on weekends. Other than that, he's eating and his color looks good...no stress lines. What could it be and will he be ok till Monday?

Re: My Beardie's leg looks swollenHas he been getting fluids or eating vegetables? Swelling could be from injury, gout or MBD. What are the temps, are you using a digital probe or temperature gun to measure temps? What size is the enclosure?
Re: My Beardie's leg looks swollen36 x 18 x 18 enclosure...he has 125 wt solar glo at basking spot and a 25wt zilla tube uvb...was feeding him baby spinach but found out it is bad for calcium absorption . A few days ago, he shed his tail but nothing else. Been bathing him every day and spraying with shedding aid but nothing else looks likeit's shedding except his mouth
Re: My Beardie's leg looks swollenYes...I use a digital probe..temps are bet 105 and 110 in basking spot and bet 70 & 80 in cool side
Re: My Beardie's leg looks swollenI would keep him hydrated and hopefully get him to the vet tomorrow. How close can he get to the uvb? There's nothing covering the uvb?
Re: My Beardie's leg looks swollenI took my beardie to vet and I made him do xray...he says it's gout and could get better but didn't prescribe anything...that was Monday and my baby's leg is obviously bothering him and it appears the whole leg and foot are swollen! What can I do for him? He's got 3 swollen toes too.
Re: My Beardie's leg looks swollenI have a screen top and uvb sits on top
Re: My Beardie's leg looks swollenWell you should call that vet and ask why he didn't prescribe you allopurinol. I would get him some black cherry juice asap. Keep him hydrated.
