Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with their beardie.



The vet and I think he fell off his basking branch and injured his left front leg. He couldn't put any weight on it but it was not broken, we took x-rays, followed up 1 month later with the vet and he still was not using his leg.



Vet can't fiqure out what it is, now 3 months later, I noticed yesterday the leg looks larger than his good leg. So we will be going to the vet again this week.



Has anyone had this problem? What did they say it was? Is there anything you recommend doing?



Is there any way to tell if a beardie is in pain? He tries to walk and his tail is curled up when he does. I hate to think that it may be time to put the little guy down, but if he is hurting there is no choice.



Thanks in advance for your help!
