Hi everyone,
I noticed today my girl's back left ankle and foot are swollen and there is a small black spot on her ankle. It doesn't look like a puncture wound..it's a bit dry/crusty looking. She has been very restless the past week or so and I'm wondering if she strained her ankle somehow running around her enclosure, or if this could be something internal or an infection of some type? She had an xray a month or so ago which didn't show any signs of MBD or broken bones. I can take her in tomorrow for another xray but the closest reptile vet is about 2 hours away and closed today.
Edit for more info - her foot are toes are very firm and swollen to the point where there is not much range of movement in her toes and ankle. It's difficult to see in the photos but the area with the black spot is raised slightly as well.
