Broke Toe?

[Ayla]

I think Draco has a broken toe on his right foot. its the longest toe. but it dosent seem to bother him, except when i touched it, then he flicked his foot. Should i just leave it like it is?

I wish I knew what to tell you. I hope every thing gets better for your beardie. You could take him to a help vet for an xray. I wish I knew what else to tell you.

Sorry to hear about Draco. How do you know his toe is broken? Do you know how he may have broke it?
You could take him to a vet if it is indeed broken. Seeing how it's a toe though, I don't think there would be much they could do for it.
Make sure you keep him comfortable and maybe try rearranging his home a bit to make it more convenient for him to get around. Maybe remove things that he climbs on and lower his basking spot to avoid any more stress on he toe.
If it is broken, he will need some time to heal. I've heard that beardie breaks can take months to heal.
Keep us updated on how he is doing.

Are u sure its broken. Mine is just ticklish on the back toes, if I touch either foot there she will jerk it away

Im pretty sure its broken b/c he cant move it and its facing backwards. he had it when i got him and i thought maybe he was holding it like that but when i feel around it i feel a small knot.

I will def rearange his home..building a new one this week

it didnt seem to bother him..untill i touched then he fliked his foot as if saying "ow that hurt, dont mess with it"

Oh poor little guy! I would say if it's facing the opposite direction, it is probably broken.
How long have you had him? How old is Draco?
Like I said... just try and make things easy for him, so that toe can heal.
The other thing to watch out for is the knot. Is the knot hard or soft? If it is soft, there is the possibility of an abscess.

i got him on the middle of July 10' and she said he was about 5 months old. and im not sure if the knot is hard or soft..i try not to mess with it to much b/c i think he cause him pain and i dont want to hurt him. he runs around the house and climbs and jumps just fine. its only when i touch/turn it dose it hurt him. i wish i could do more for him tho
