Wee guy walked onto my hand, well hobbled onto my hand, last night, walked across my hands for a wee while, then took a wander up my arm, sat on my shoulder ... did a poop, then calmly walked back down my arm and just sat on my hand as if to say "Thanks, you can put me back now" :main_rolleyes:

 

[mainelygeckos]

LMAO! How cute Good to hear he is doing ok

 

[sleepyjones]

Wee guy s doing great now.
He still looks a bit thin in the tail, but im assuming that's because he's young, he's certainly eating well.
He seems to be walking about fine now, looks as if his arm has healed up nicely, he still limps a bit, but he's putting his weight on the arm now and it seems to be holding up just fine.
One question I did have however is that he now has what looks like a big bicep.
I know that his arm would be slightly disfigured, or bent, but is the bicep ok?
I assume it might be the callus that the vet said would (hopefully) form to heal the bone, but im just a bit worried that it might be infected or something.
I'll get a picture tonight so you can see, but anyone got any ideas based on the description?

Is there an open wound? Pictures would be good.. if there was an infection it would most likely swell up the entire arm.. (but dont count on me being right) and be warm.

You had him checked for worms I suspect right?

 

[sleepyjones]

Neah, they didn't do any other checks as far as Im aware.
They just did the x-ray to check how back his arm was, and discovered he had MBD.

There's no open wound, it was a compound fracture, which was left to heal by itself (under the vets advice).
I'll get a pic tonight.

 

[sleepyjones]

Here's some pics, as you can probably see it's his front left arm.

and just for the heck of it, here's Iggy too

... and I know his tail is pretty thin, but he's eating well and gaining weight

That bulge is really weird....have you felt it at all? is it squishy or hard? Does he flinch when you touch it?
