Hey guys.. A few weeks ago I posted about how my beardie was stepped on, and it was possible that his leg was broken in the incident. This was about 3 weeks ago.
It seemed as if he was okay, and over the two weeks I've noticed a couple things, not sure if its just me being a paranoid parent or what. If it was obviously swollen and causing him pain believe be I would go get it X-ray'd in a heart beat. But after giving him 24 hours of observance and rest after the incident it didn't seem as if spending 250$ just for a possibility was an option. (I am a broke college student.)
tldr; these are the symptoms:
I have a custom 4 tank enclosure out of melamine made, on the front there is a screen 8" x 16" on either side of each tank. When he stands/ climbs on the screen it seems that the leg on the side that was stepped on kind of indents at the knee, and his lower leg is kind of wiggly, but his other leg isnt that way. However its not swollen, and he doesnt react when touching it.
Is a vet visit in line?
