Hi there! Im not sure exactly whats happening myself but has your beardie recently shed? sometimes they dont fully shed and when they grow the parts of shed that didnt come off can get tighter and tighter. I dont know if this is it but thats all I know of...sorry I couldnt be more help :(

Hello,

How long has it been swollen like that for?
It could be a tumor, an abscess, or a pregout syndrome causing renal issues which causes swelling of extremities, etc.
For now, all you can do is monitor her. Try to get some extra oral fluids into her as well until you can get a blood test on her to figure out what in the world is going on.
Is she eating anything right now?
What type of lighting are you using, do you have a UVB light? If so, what type & brand are you using? A fluorescent tube bulb or a compact/coil light?

thur. i had her out and didn't notice any swelling,sat is when we noticed.
we use reptisun 10.0 tube bulbs for all our beardies.

Hello,

I really think a vet visit should be scheduled. It doesn't sound like metabolic bone disease at all, so it only leaves a couple of other options such as a tumor, or a cyst. Do you have a vet that you can take her to go see?
Good to hear that she is eating well right now & doesn't seem to be bothered by it so far.

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. 😔
