WD hurting

usarmy May 04, 2004 03:25 PM

my male WD is about 2 1/2 ft long. just recently i noticed him limping around on his rear left leg. he appears to be able to have minimal movement on it. i examined him and noticed nothing unusal about his leg (but i am no professional) i just did a comparative evaluation based on his normal leg. he tends to drag the leg...has anyone else had problems like this? any suggestions on what it may be. i am too poor for the vet right now so any suggestions would be very much appreciated...plse help frank!
j...

p.s. i doubt is MBD because i dust food everyday and there are 3 mercury vapor bulbs...but i could be wrong

He has to see a vet, there isn't anything you can do. He probably broke it, and he will need it splinted properly. Otherwise, it will never heal right and he will be in a lot of pain. Reptiles rarely show pain, but I am sure he feels it.
