His full shed finished last week. I don't think his legs are going to shed. He gets daily calcium with vitamin D3. And no multivitamin. I have 2 friends that have beardies and never give them and they told me it wasn't necessary. Could that be the problem?They do look a little swollen. What kind of supplements are you using? Are you giving calcium and a multivitamin? When was the last shed? Looks kinda like there is some stuck shed there but there might be something else going on.
I would agree they look swollen for some reason does he walk on them ok? kinda looks like they got hung up on something or dropped/fell and landed on the back end possibly hurting them? you may want to have them checked by a vet.
Oh poor baby...if he isn't using them I would for sure have him seen by a reptile vet that can't feel good.He didn't eat much today. Made him drink water and a pedialite bath. I'm concluding he fell, but honest I can't remember it happening. He's not climbing. He's just kinda scooting along the floor of his viv.

Thanks. I'm gonna give it a couple days. I read that there is nothing to do for soft tissue damage, they just have to heal. If I touch him he's fine, but if I squeeze the ankle he pulls away a little. If it gets worse I'll take him for sure. He's walking on my shoulders as we speak, so he's a happy dude, just sore I think. Boy, I feel like a bad mommy for not seeing him fallOh poor baby...if he isn't using them I would for sure have him seen by a reptile vet that can't feel good.
When was the last time he went to the bathroom?
Multivitamins are a must to give them. We have some links to great food and info on how to use vitamins, check them out if you haven't already.
Here's updated photos. It seems to be it's just his rear left leg. So I'm hopeful he's healing. I read that soft tissue damage is a slow recovery so I'm trying to be patient. He's eating a going to bathroom daily. Thanks for all the help and recommendations...oh, and I took all his climbing stuff out for the time being , so his cage looks boring right now

So I came home today to swollen front ankles. I'm resigned to gout and it's breaking my heart. I'm reading many articles online and getting different opinions of what to do. Does anyone here have recommendations based on experience? Poor guy is only 6 months old and if he's going to be in pain his whole life...i just need to make the right decision. My vet is already closed. I'll call in the morning for a visit.
