So long story short, my beardie tried to jump from my hands to my shoulders but I was not wearing a shirt so he kinda slipped off and fell to the floor, to carpet. I noticed a little lump on his back, but wasn;t sure if he had always had that, or if the fall caused it. But he didnt seem to be in pain, maybe a little bit. His beard turned a bit black and the tip of his tail black just for a little bit, then returned to normal.
So I took him to the vet, they firstly said that he is stable, and doesnt look or act in pain. She noticed the little lump but wasn't sure if if was from the fall, she said she doesnt think so. She said that he looks fine, he walks just fine (he is, he was walking around my room like nothing ever happened), he is eating just fine as well, but that if i wanted to make really sure that I should apy for some x-rays, which I dont have the money for at the moment sadly.
So she said that its most likely nothing to worry about, its from the shock and he migght still be in a bit of pain but should get better in a few days, no medication prescribed.
Now its been a day since I took him to the vet, he looks normal. A little slouched and 'down', but he got up in the morning and up his basking rock. He ate just fine about 10 dusted dubias.
But when I gentle press on his upper back (i know I probably shouldnt), he kind of shakes a little bit. His side shakes a little bit and/or he tenses up on the upper right part of his body. But only does it sometimes, sometimes I gentle press again (very gently), and nothing happens, like he isnt in pain. He just pooped so he doesnt have a problem with that.
