Wow Cory, I too am really sad to see that. I've never seen that type of swelling before, it may have been serious septic arthritis or something. So sorry you lost that baby.
LadyR, just keep offering the syringe with baby food + calcium mixed in, and remember, it may take a few days for him to get his appetite back after his traumas. You say he's darting around the patio even now ? If so, that's great ! He is ill but still has energy at times. Shedding may play a part in loss of appetite, but he should start eating again now that you've disconinued the painful shots + the other med. Try taking a cricket, cripple it a bit by shaking it up in a jar pretty hard [ with calcium ] and drop the weak cricket near him. The slow moving cricket may attract him. Don't give up, he may still be able to recover !
