I think your talking of a uromastyx?

I was just talking with a buddy today that rescued a uro with a very badly swollen foot, an x-ray revealed little bones broken and seperated in there.

Swelling can also be signs of Metabolic Bone disease. Also Gout can cause swelling.

If you have no recall of any falls or accidents, bites, and this just appeared, and is not going away, I think I would have it checked by a Vet.

Also you may want to post on the uro forum and see what others think, better to have many MINDS working on the problem,

Let us know. Hope he will be okay!

See ya over the Uro forum!
