Worried about my bearded dragon!

Hello, I have an almost one year old male bearded dragon. One of his front legs is swollen, I read up and thought he may not be getting enough calcium so I have been giving him tons of powdered super worms. This all started about 4 days ago. Well, it's still swollen and today I saw him lifting a back leg up? I think the other front may be starting to swell too. Plus, he was always a voracious eater, now not so much. He is still eliminating, but I'm very concerned. What can/should I do to help my guy??

Thanks
Christine

Hi Christine....it may be gout or septic arthritis. If you can find a qualified reptile vet they can do certain tests to find out. I stress that it should be a qualified vet, one that deals with bearded dragons. They might tale an X-ray or do a needle aspiration to check the joints to see if there are crystals. Here is some more info:
