I recently got in a female egyptian uromastyx who somehow damaged her left front leg. I'm not sure if it was in shipment or if something happened before or what but she could not walk on it when I received her. It has been REALLY swollen for a week and a half and she barely walks on it. I have taken her to the vet twice. The first time she got an antiinflamatory injection and the second she received x-rays (which came back negative...no fracture) and an oral anti inflamatory. The antiinflamatory stuff does not seem to be working at all. Her arm is so swollen it's hard to the touch. I really do not know what to do and my vet does not seem to know what it is after getting the x-rays back. Has anyone had any experience with swollen limbs in their reptiles? If so what was the diagnosis? How long did it last? I feel so bad for her and the whole situation is hard with christmas coming around and funds dwindling (she was not cheap and the vet bills have already added on $180). If anyone can offer any advice I would be incredibly thankful. Hope everyone elses animals are doing better than Pebbles :~(.
