Such a SAD look on that poor uros face in the last pic I looked at. A soulful , suffering/hurting look. That foot must be so painful.

The tail is so thin and boney there is no thickness to it anywhere. I see scarring on the face and neck area, and even his/her sides , can't see if it is burns, or blister type disease.

I would call a vet and make some sort of arrangements, this lizard is in bad shape and most likely alot of pain. That foot is so swollen it looks like a baseball glove, not even a foot anymore.

Could be gout, who knows, in any case it must HURT like the dickens. Needs medical care ASAP. Normally I would try and help a person figure what to do, but in this case this animal has had enough suffering, and if you can not afford a vet, make arrangments to pay a little a week or borrow some cash.

Other wise you will not be able to help him either. I know you mean well but he needs medical attention.

** I hurt just looking at those pics! I would show up at the vets, and worry about the money after. They all make arrangements if needed.

Please get him some help, let us know
