Lizarto my lizard is overweight. He's at 1.20. Little bit on the chubby side! ;) Trying to make him loose weight. He still has the leg twitching problem, I took him to the vet and they check out his legs, amazingly, he has nerve damage and that's all!
After that high fall, I thought they where broken for good.
Lizarto was given some medication for him to take to help his legs recover faster! It is called prednisilone syrup.
The vet was explaining that it may take a year for him to recover his legs.
Do you think he's going to be ok? I am worried about my baby!
Thanks :)

Is he moving around better now? If so, I'd give him some space to roam around and get some excercise along with providing him with a nice varied salad as the majority of his diet. That should help him regulate his weight. Can you provide some recent pictures of him? ~550g may not be too bad weight wise. How long is he nose to tail?

User Image Uploads Manager right here on BeardedDragon.org! Here's a topic with information about it. With it, you can easily upload an image and embed it into your posts. In addition, embedded images (using the new XIMG tag) can be clicked on by readers to view the larger version of it.]
Link didn't work lol. Weird.
Well....
You'll need to upload the pictures from the Site Map (categories - top left) using upload manager, then click the XIMG button you see when typing in the forums, it's in the header with font selection etc.
If there's an easier way I've yet to figure it out lol.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
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.
