Hi,
My BD, Tongali is a male 5 years old just got injured.
He was very hiper and active this afternoon, and he jumped off from my arm (about 3 feet) when I tried to bring him under the sun so that he can get more natural UV.
At the moment, he was still very active runnung around everywhere.
So I let him being alone in he spot that sun shine could come in( still inside my door).
But after a few minuites, I looked at him and he was hiding in the shade.
I tried to bring him back to the cage by holding him up, but I recognized he was so in tense and nervous.
I gently picked him up and put back in the cage, But after a few hours, I noticed he did not move at all for at least 30 min.
Since he was soooo active just before that he was bobbing his head vigorly every 2 min, I felt so strange.
I took him out from the cage and put him on the ground.
But he doesn't move much.
I gave him his favorit food, crickets and he ate it as usual, so his appetite seems fine.
I checked his body and found out his left back leg (or knee) seems a little swallowed or bigger than the right.
It feels a bit harder than the other like a lump.
At this point, they are the only noticable symptom.
I have read on line forums about broken/sprian legs and the way he moves seemes just like other injured BDs.
He can walk slowly and can move the leg but seems avoiding using it.
I would like to bring him to vet, but I know it is going to cost more than $200,,,,and it is very difficult for me to afford it.
Is it something naturally cure?
Can I do something at home?
What is the maximum days I can leave and observe how it is going to be without bringing him to the hospital?
His cage environment should be OK.
I would really appreciate if you could suggest me something....
I would also like to know of how much percent of possibility he will be cured if I bring him to vet.
becasue I have an experience that anther my BD died eventhough I brought him to a hospital unfortunately.
I know it was a different kind of case and it could have been too late to bring him, but I just would like to know a general idea about bringing a BD to bringing to vet and get it cured for broken or sprain legs.
Thank you so much for your reading.
