I haven't even gotten to introduce my new beardie to you all. Her name is Miyagi, and she's about 2-3 months old.
Now, she has a weird lump on her arm between her elbow and wrist. I thought maybe gout, but the vet said it probably wouldn't show at such a young age. So he felt around and said it's not broken, and he couldn't find any punture or wound, so he gave her a Cortizone shot and a week of Baytril. The Baytril didn't do much, so I asked and he gave me another week of it, but it still doesn't seem to be doing any good. I'm supposed to drop her off tonight on my way to work and they will look at her while I'm at work, but it kinda seems like her back opposite foot is now developing a lump. PLUS, today, she refuses to eat (although she is shedding in some places). Idk if these are connected or what. I got her on a Tuesday and the lump on her arm showed up the Sunday after. Her husbandry is all correct. My first baby Yoshi, recently passed, and after cleaning his tank and items, she now uses all his stuff, so I know that isn't an issue. Pictures are below, but here's my questions...
Does this look like possible gout?
Could it be a bite from her petstore tankmates and it's just now showing up?
Could it be fluid build-up and needs to be drained?
Does the back foot look swollen or am I imagining that?
Front left arm...
Back right foot...
Someone please help. After losing Yoshi so suddenly, I can't handle losing Miyagi too, especially if it's something I can actually do something about.
