I feel like there's always something with Panoodle...I don't know what her care was before we got her, or how old she is.
A couple weeks ago her left hand swelled up and she was limping on it. I let it be and it got better on its own after a week. Now she's limping again but with her left knee, which is turning gray for a shed. I touched it and it's squishy, like there's no knee there at all, whereas her right knee is hard. Not sure if she's losing bone density in her knee or if it's just swollen and I can't tell. But what's more concerning is, the right half of the top of her head turned black yesterday. It almost looks like another beardie bit her. But she was in her tank all day yesterday and didn't move from the spot. So it's not a burn (she couldn't get close enough to her light even if it was), it couldn't possibly be a bite, and she couldn't have fallen and bumped it, because she stayed in one spot. It's stayed this color for over 24 hours. Could this be bleeding under the skin? I've touched it and I don't know if it hurts her because she doesn't really like being touched on the head to begin with.
