Is it possible to break a tongue?

[Obi]

Hi, I rescued a 8 year old male dragon and he is beautiful but he has an issue with eating… when he goes for his food, he zeros in on it and his on target but his tongue will only extend out of the right side of his mouth!

He will get there eventually but sometimes I have to help him along a bit. I had to help him by poking some kale into the let side of his mouth as he couldn’t use his tongue to move it in further.

Everything else about him is fine and the last owner said it just happened one day so I don’t think he was hatched like it.

Of course I will take him to the vet to see what they think but I thought I would see if this wonderful collection of knowledge may have an idea in the time being.

Many thanks

Can u post a few pictures for us? Could he have mouth rot? And he’s using the one side cause it’s painful? Ive never heard of a tongue being broken :/
