My Beardies leg looks swollen...he is starting to shed again but his leg doesn't look like it's about to shed...the vets are closed till Monday...anyone have any idea what this could be?!
He'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?
He might of hurt it. There are no obvious cuts or open wounds anywhere? Everything happens on the weekends If his behavior is fine I'm sure he'll be ok till Monday but be sure to get him in. I would probably get an xray done.
Has 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?
36 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
I 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.
I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
