Some of you know Ember - she's a sweet approximately 3 month old dragon I received from Rea (evanescent) and is missing her right arm. She's been doing great, but I've noticed some odd swelling on her back legs. I'm going to get her into the vet this week, but I'm not sure when based on my work schedule (we already have one person out this week, possibly two if one of my techs screwed up his knee). Any thoughts would be appreciated. All of her temps are within range and she eats like a pig. She's supposed to be on meds for internal parasites, but I haven't started her on those yet.
Her right hip looks a little odd to me too - not sure if it looks dislocated or if it's funny. The bone seems to stick out more on that side and her leg almost seems like it sits lower on the hip joint. It's hard to tell in the photo though..
Right leg (swollen) vs left leg (normal)
Underside of her right foot - even that is swollen
Close up of the toes on her left foot. Notice the swollen joints :/
Whole body! Her arm looks great
