A quick summary of what happened: Came back home from college for the weekend (mom has been taking care of my beardie), uncle says he found her with a leg of furniture on her arm, the arm is now limping, I take her to the vet and it's fractured. Only options to get it fixed is surgery or home rest. With both options, they said it might not heal perfectly and I was heartbroken. I asked if they could give her a cast, but they said it's not possible.
So I have her on medication that I syringe feed once a day, and I tried making a cast for her. Do you guys think it looks okay? Should I make it more so it's shaped like her other arm? It's essentially a wooden splint I cut and sanded, wrapped in the sticky gauze, and taped together with waterproof medical tape (no idea what the actual terminology for any of this is called). I don't know how to upload images on this site, I think I paste the link?
Let me know how to do it if I didn't get it lol.
Also, she is a picky eater in general, doesn't like to eat crickets, and sometimes the supers beat her up so she stops eating bc she gets discouraged. Any tips on how to get her to eat or if I should get new insects to feed?
