Boone was found this morning in his enclosure with a very inflamed rear leg/foot. He is not using the leg at all-and his inner small toe is also inflamed and pink, the nail is pretty much encapsulated frome the swelling. I’ve soaked him in warm water throughout the day, just to make him comfortable. He hasn’t eaten much nor drank or poopied. Im really worried, and he’s never had any issues before, he’s a very healthy guy. Ive attached a picture and a video. Any ideas friends?
Poor guy, that is definitely some swelling. You mentioned that it just cropped up quickly?
It appears to be gout developing there. We can review your tank setup if you need, such
as the type/brand of UVB, supplementation, temperatures, diet, etc to be sure his setup is
all correct.
Is he active & eating well right now?
