Beardie foot issue

[keyman]

Help my young beardie is favoring this foot and is getting discolored

Hi there....can you get a closer pic of the foot itself ? Is he with another beardie that may have bitten him ? Is there a small piece of skin shed around it ? If there is skin around it, it would be cutting off circulation. If that's the case try some raw honey on it [ from health store, not the normal grocery store type ] or put some plain aloe gel on it. Then see if you can very gently get the skin off once it's softened if that's the problem.

Yes it does have some skin around it he just shed a few days ago thank you I will try the honey and aloe tomorrow I gave him a warm bath and got some of the skin to come off after with a q tip tonight

Took him into the vet today has an infection we got antibiotics to give him in injections should save his foot he still had feeling in it

Well my little friend has been to the vet twice now this time they are doing a culture on a skin sample and testing for yellow skin disease I really hope this little guy is going to be ok keeping fingers crossed. He started to look better after antibiotics were given to him then slipped back to same condition only now his leg is turning yellow and getting a couple spots on his belly too poor guy :-(

I'm very sorry to hear that

But it's great that you took him to the vet and are getting him tested. I'm hoping for the best for him!

Well good news no yellow skin disease but we have 3 types of bacterial infection to deal with picking up antibiotics today

That's good news! Hopefully he has a full and quick recovery. You may want to pick up some probiotics as well to help restore good gut bacteria when the antibiotics kick in. Bene-bac and Acidophiliz+ are good ones.

I'm glad to hear it! And I'm glad you're getting him all fixed up

 

[keyman]

Well after lots of patience, baths, and $ we finally are seeing some success going for a recheck next week but what a turnaround

 

[keyman]

He is using it very well too lmao

 

[CooperDragon]

Wow, that's really encouraging! Looks like he's in good spirits if he's climbing around on a screen.

It truly is we love our little friend and feel good he isn't in pain as far as we can tell he is anxiously waiting for his new viv I'm building too
