Hello, I haven´t posted in a long time. Navi has been really well until a few weeks ago. Here´s the story.
20.03. I came home from a week away at my partners place, it was really late so Navi was already asleep and I didn´t see her move. Next morning I noticed she had difficulty walking and wasn´t using her front left leg, at all. I didn´t see much so i just thought shes being weird, but it continued until few hours later whne i came from school. At wednesday we were going to a vet, and before we left i noticed a very small bump right beside her leg she couldn´t move. At the vet they´ve given he ra shot and did some xrays, the vet said she was feisty and it probably hurts, the bump also got bigger, a lot bigger. probably from her being feisty because it later got smaller again. Xrays showed nothing is broken.
I also wanna point out, I was being stupid and regret my decision doing it, but I´ve had her on sand for some time when she got older, because a lot of people said the biggest risk it when theyre small. I regret and believe me i was so mad at myself afte rthe xrays showed she had sand inside, eventhough the vet said it wasn´t a big blockage, but there is some. They gave us some oil for her to eat to help release the blockage.
On thursday, she was a bit better, she could move the leg a bit. at the vet they took blood samples incase it was a gout (I think thats how you say it in english) and gave her a shot again. The result came in at friday, negative, again with another shot. It´s now been 2 and a half weeks, i give her medication (syrup) we got from the vet, one dose a day. She did get a lot better, she now can move her leg from her wrist up but that´s it. The bulge hasn´t gone away and she hasn´t pooped either. WE just came home from a 4 hour visit and her bump got really big (photos added, try to ignore the newspapers, it just a temporary sub) she was hiding in a dark place and it hurts a lot I think, she got all black and won´t let me touch her anywhere besides the chin.
(also she is the most friendly I´ve seen a beardie, she doesnt mind anyone handling her, touching her, and even if she gets mad, which si very rare, she didn´t bite once)
I´m really concerned with what is wrong with her, since I have her temps all right, her UVB is new, I got rid of the sand, she is eating properly and drinks properly. We have another vet check this tuesday. The vet doesn´t know what coudl have caused the leg to not work side from her somehow jumping? or just hurting herself in her enclosure, which i dont understand how she would do... The bulge was shown at their xrays at a mass of muscles/tissue, no organs or anything, but they haven´t turned down the option of it being a tumor, which would be weird because tumors dont change in size right? also haven´t turned down the option of amputating the arm if it doesnt get better...
Does anyone have a slight idea or even expirience with this, it would mean so much.
Thanks everyone in advance
