Hi everyone,
My beardie called Greg is 3 years old now and just come off a sparodic shed, this took about 2 weeks or so and often when Greg sheds he doesn’t eat much and is usually very lazy and sleepy this is normal to me.
However this week being free from shed now I have noticed a swollen left leg-
I have attached a link to an album for pictures and a video.

This swelling doesn’t seam to cause him pain when I touch it but he does not want to put weight on it at all when walking , it almost seems weak as time I’ve seen his leg start shaking.
He also has yet to really eat properly since his shed.
He has pooped this week but only the once.
Now researching through this I am coming across what Could be early signs one MBD I’m thinking cause he hasn’t had much calcium supplements due to him not eating a lot recently ??? I have also changed the UVB bulbs yesterday too not sure if this would help??
I’m also coming across Gout but really not sure how I can tell the difference and what it might be ??
What can I do to help Greg??
Ps I don’t have meany trained reptile specialist vets near me so I am coming here for help first please help
