I rescued a bearded dragon today from a breeder who had left his bearded dragons with a pet store who apparently do not properly care for their animals. I'm going to post in the forum about it in the intro section but this post will be strictly about his medical needs.
His arm was badly damaged by a much stronger larger dragon that the pet shop kept with him in a tank. His leg is limp and he drags it around. Here's some pics of the damage :
He seems otherwise healthy. He's very perky but he's visibly darker than he is supposed to be. I'm guessing from the pain or the stress. Hopefully he'll brighten up.
Does anyone have any suggestions for treatment? Some of the spots are dark and that worries me. I'm worried his little arm might need to be amputated.
