I did a stupid thing the other day and let my sonoran millipede crawl on my lap; I got distracted and he fell on the floor. Now he has a kink in one spot on his body and in that area the gaps between his body segments are widerthan normal. He is also acting strangely; normally he buries himself under the substrate, but since this happened he has just been hanging on top of a peice of driftwood I have in the tank, and he doesnt want to move much. I'm wondering if an experienced millipede keeper can tell me if the kink will heal and go away, or if he is just probably going to die. I don't know if I'm supposed to euthanize him at the vet or what? I feel just terrible and I really think there's something really wrong. This happened two days ago and he has not shown any improvement since the incident. Knowledgable/intelligent replies only, please.

Accidents happen.
I suppose you could euthanize it if you couldn't bear to see it as a "Cripple"
More than likely it will survive. But never be the same. It may lose function in some leggs. Swelling in most common in injury.
there is not much you can do. Best thing is to let it heal on it's own.
