Hello,
i've acquired this dragon from a person who was not able to feed her properly for couple of weeks. She is very malnourished (skin and bones basically) and now i just turned on the light and saw an open wound on her leg. I've had her for a day and fed her some repta aid yesterday as well as some crickets. I'm very worried, when she walks (if she does) she doesnt seem to have any control of her paw/arm past the injury. I can see bones through the wound as skinny as she was. There might have been one or two crickets hiding in the tank overnight that i did not see and i hope they did not cause this damage. I don't have the funds to go to a vet at the moment so would really like some advice here first. If i have no choice i will go to the vet though.
I am upset and feel like this is my fault somehow.
Thank you, here are some pictures
