My Newest (SAD STORY)

[AndNothingHvrt]

I was at work today (after being gone for one day) and I was feeding all the babies mealworms as I always do...and I came across this poor little guy. He was missing his entire LEG! It must have happened the one day I was gone. I was told to just keep the wound clean and apply the healing aid twice or three times a day. He has already ate a mealworm tonight.

I'm hoping for the best : /

Any other advice would be VERY appreciated.

 

[dprince]

Holy cow!! I hope he's housed alone.......poor baby.

 

[Mack Leo Boy]

Man these pet stores ARE really somethin'. Poor thing.... Good luck with him\her!:main_thumbsup:

 

[lazzara8478]

poor baby!

 

[AndNothingHvrt]

Yeah. He's alone now.

I mean, I do ALL I can for these guys at work...

But, I'm only one person..and I can't control how the company runs...

All I can do is my best. : (

 

[lil_katiedan]

Oh geez, that's very sad....I've seen wounds like that heal up before though so I would just be sure he stays hydrated and use some Neosporin....Good luck!

 

[Ccrashca069]

I seen baby bearded dragons recover very nicely and live a full life with 1 limb missing. A little Neosporin and some time and that baby will be almost as good as new

If one thing about these animals is true, is that they bounce back once they get the proper care, im really pulling for this little guy.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Poor baby!!!! I hope it makes a full recovery, and thrives well with ony 3 legs!

 

[dprince]

Yeah. He's alone now.

I mean, I do ALL I can for these guys at work...

But, I'm only one person..and I can't control how the company runs...

All I can do is my best. : (

Thank GOODNESS for people like you. That little gecko is lucky to have you. :main_yes: Did you get to take him home or does he have to stay at the store?

 

[AndNothingHvrt]

I got to take him home no charge and free vet visit.

 

[miamimike]

That's really cool that you are giving it a chance......good luck and let us know how it goes please.

 

[evilxyardxgnome]

I hope you give it a real cool nickname like nubs or something.

 

[evilxyardxgnome]

or Tripod even.

 

[lil_katiedan]

Tripod is cute .

 

[BettaDragon]

That poor thing! I've seen a few like that. Luckily he's young so he'll have lots of time to learn how to adapt with a missing leg. I agree, Tripod is a cute name.

 

[Baysidegeckos]

To bad they cant grow a leg back like there tail's!

How the little one makes it threw for ya!

 

[dprince]

I got to take him home no charge and free vet visit.

How very cool!! That hatchling is in good hands. Best of luck with him.

 

[rubym]

awwww he is a cutie. I hope he continues to do well for you and makes a complete recovery. Many animals learn to adapt to having 3 limbs and live almost normal lives. Best wishes to you and the little one!!!

 

[AndNothingHvrt]

He is still alive. But, I haven't gotten to eat since I brought him home. I guess it's only been 2 days though..
