[QUOTE="lizzythedragon, post: 1993848, member: 115076"] Hello everyone, last Friday I noticed that my beardie’s foot is swollen. It seems like there’s a black spot of where it started swelling from, and in the last few days it became worst. Here’s a picture from Friday: [MEDIA=imgur]wF8BzkW[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=imgur]SLiZNHn[/MEDIA] Here’s a picture from today (Tuesday): [MEDIA=imgur]noP3B5N[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=imgur]sldNO4c[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=imgur]lOsQ6wk[/MEDIA] [URL]https://i.imgur.com/94OgtuZ.jpg[/URL] he behaves almost normal but he’s definitely stressed out, in pain, and jumpy This is him two weeks ago with a normal foot: [URL]https://i.imgur.com/bYfMRBf.jpg[/URL] [URL]https://i.imgur.com/Kc2aiUw.jpg[/URL] That’s his tank & setup: [URL]https://i.imgur.com/nxJHGVg.jpg[/URL] REPTI ZOO 67Gallonl 48" x 18" x 1 [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KP2D42W/[/URL] I give him this Calcium with Vitamin D3 daily (once a day): [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BS96G1E/[/URL] Heat Bulb: 1 of 100 w and 1 of 75 w it brings his basking spot to: Laser thermostat: 102-112 F on wall thermostat: 89 F on wall humidity measure: 36% Cooler side of tank: Laser Thermostat: 72-78 F On wall thermostat: 76 F On wall humidity: 47% He has a ReptiZoo T5 UVB light, I remember doing lots of research and measuring the tank and his basking spot to the lamp, I also measure the radiation a few times a week and make sure to switch bulbs on time. UV radiation from basking spot: 0.13 - 0.15 [URL]https://i.imgur.com/7IvMWLS.jpg[/URL] UV radiation from floor basking area: 0.08 [URL]https://i.imgur.com/tOvHEzz.jpg[/URL] UV radiation from cool area / floor : 0.07 [URL]https://i.imgur.com/5hR198D.jpg[/URL] Diet: Most of his diet consists of daily mealworms (20-30 depends on size - usually what he can eat in 15 mins) And I order Goliath worms and feed them to him once they arrive / until they become too large so for a few days a month he eats those too. He gets collard greens daily, occasionally I add romaine lettuce, bell pepper, carrots, apples, blueberry, but he never eats anything besides the collard greens. So most of the time he gets just collard greens. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong or what cause my beardie to get a swollen foot but today I can tell that he’s in a lot of pain, he still runs around and active but he doesn’t touch the ground with that swollen foot as it hurts him so much. I tried soaking his foot in water, and I tried spraying it with water occasionally which doesn’t seem to help. It’s 6 AM right now I’m going to take him today to the vet but I’d like to hear people’s advise about what it may be and how I can help him. I read online that it could be skin that didn’t shed or gout, he also likes to jump a lot until I let him out of the tank his favorite thing to do is run around the house, so he could’ve hurt himself one of those times that I’m not home and he jumps like crazy and hits the glass. There’s a black spot right where the foot started to become swollen so I’m thinking it could be an infection as well. Please suggest what I can do in the meantime to make him feel better. [/QUOTE]
