I don't know - we need Tracie to answer this - I am thinking the arm is sore now - it may take a day or so for the soreness to go away---

Hello!

Yes, Karrie is correct. A lot of times, an injection can cause muscle soreness. They may have hit
a nerve perhaps which can make the area sore or sometimes even swollen.
She should heal up & the soreness will gradually subside so she can move around normally again.
I am not exactly sure on how long the soreness will last, it depends on whether or not a nerve was
hit.
Is she eating right now?
Let us know how things are going!

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
