keen pelican

tired needle
It indeed is weird
wintry geyser

kinda curious how it would look on an xray

They work at a local reptile shop
Petsmarts do not sell E.hardwickii

huh interesting

Given it’s only one wrist and noo where else on the animal I don’t think it’s mbd personally but an X-ray would be the only way to tell
Visual MBD normally means the mbd is already severe which you would probably see it it more than just that foot

i personally feel like a baby like that wouldnt get mbd that fast as well
not visual at least
tired needle
What are you pointing at
tired needle
That just looks like face scales
grim sequoia
What are you pointing at
no it looks like the bottom is a little odd

It’s not a e.mac so markings may make the animal look off if you're not used to looking at the species but with the video xia sent last night of it eating I do not think his jaw is fucked up.
John wick looks fine besides his foot

ill let the store manager know and see when we can sort out a vet appointment.
this guy apparently came in with a lot of stuck shed so i wouldnt be surprised if there was something else
tired needle
it wouldn't shock me if it's a birth defect in that case

How old?
keen pelican
How old?
barely 2 months im p sure
old manager never bothered to tell me how some of the animals came around
keen pelican
i havent checked yet lol
but yeah, hes getting around without issue
i havent seen any limping or favoring the other side

If he’s that young and you’ve noticed it this recently, I would get him to a vet ASAP. It can probably still be splinted. There are a lot of important nerves and arteries that supply the foot in that area, so a fracture there makes me very anxious
Like it doesn’t need an emergency vet tonight, but needs a vet visit in the next two to three days
keen pelican
ill see what i can do. management has left for the day
ill let them know when i come in tomorrow
i cant guarantee an appointment in 2/3 days though since the one good reptile vet around is always booking at least 5 days in advance
my question is what if he came in like that? because it could have been there for a while and i just hadnt noticed til today?
orchid arrow
When did y’all get him in?
keen pelican
at least a month ago
ive only been working here for a week
orchid arrow
So I mean, if he arrived like that, a bony callus has probably already formed and it would be difficult to fix the fracture
It’s just very difficult to know without palpating the limb and taking images, which is why I think getting him to the vet ASAP is best
call and see if your clinic can squeeze him in for a drop off appointment.
In the mean time, keep an eye on the foot for changes in size, color, or use
keen pelican
you got it
