Ok so Idk what to do. I had draco in my hand while my son was jumping on the bed and IDK in a split second he jumped on her while in my hand and I saw his foot go directly over her head and she got black bearded and opened her jaw wide now she's not moving. Is she hurt badly?? My hubby is at work so I don't have the car to take her to the vet. Plus our vet is on vacation right now ugh. I feel so bad. Should I Uber? Or could she just be ok ?

Does she seem to have any problem moving her head or walking or just not moving at all? the black beard is a normal reaction, but otherwise, what Aerries said. Her wrist looks a little bit swollen, or has it always been like that? could be the photo perspective

I think that may just be her shedding.. but I have an appointment for her when her vet gets back..she has been eating.. and active since it happened. So I guess she's ok, thank you guys for your answers!

Keep an eye on that foot and make sure it's just shedding, it looks a little swollen. Also look out for limping or not putting weight on the foot, those are signs something is wrong.

I'll be doing that for sure.. for now she seems normal.. but though i thought it could have been shedding, it can't be bc the other side is not like that. So I'm probably just going to another vet bc waiting till the 22 for when her vet gets back could be bad.

Try to get her in with another exotics vet just to have it looked at. Serrapepatase is something good to have on hand. It helps with inflammation among other things. I've always given it to Dexter whenever she has something wrong and it always seems to help speed up the recovery. It's naturally found in silkworms so you can also just use silks as your feeder. I just don't know how many silkworms are in a dose. It's not an answer to the vet though, that should still be done.
