Dislocated Arm

So as of recent we have been moving around my dragon for a bit now and we finally settled into our app ( he has maintained his heat and food). Since we have moved into our app I have happened to notice that my dragon likes to hide his left leg now while he is on his hammock etc (keeps it by his stomach). Now when I picked him up his right arm seemed fine, being stiff and allowing little resistance. His left leg however allows no resistance and lets me move it aroind freely as it feels a little bit floppy (bad word choice I don't really know how to describe that). When he goes for his food and walks around outside on our carpet he seems to have a slight limp but does not show signs of distress. Any help or advice please let me know. I now know it is a dislocated arm (or so I believe). What should I do?

He looks fine to me. He is putting weight on both arms and moving around easily. He was alert and eating well so that's a good sign too. Their arms and legs are pretty flexible relative to ours.

We had an exotic vet come to our house, and he said that he has mbd and possible fractures. We are getting him a x-ray today. (Rip all our money). He so said crickets were bad . And the calcium with d3 was bad too. Since we have a 10.0 t5 ho uvb bulb

X-rays would help confirm that. Have you gotten them since the last post? Calcium with D3 isn't necessary using a T5 set at an appropriate distance (usually about 12'' from the basking site) because it provides enough UVB for them to synthesize D3 on their own. I don't know that it would be harmful in the normally recommended doses though. Crickets are OK but they are a pain to keep vs other options. Generally the wider variety of bugs and veges you can offer, the better.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
