    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

YEAH! Our limping leo is OK

I posted yesterday that our leo suddenly started "buckling" her right front paw when she put weight on it...and our vet is away till end of the week.Hubby called from work (at 5 AM!!!...I almost killed him! He's a cop and ANY call at that hour is BAD news! ) Anyway he found a fellow cop w/ an iggy who had a herp-vet near him and he'd call to get us an appt.Well...it was 1-1/2 hour drive but the good news is she is OK! He thinks it was a sprain/strain for pulling shed or playing w/ clutch mates. Minor swelling but joint moves well (...even though she didn't like it!) and didn't appear broken. Does not look like MBD as it's not mushy and there were no other signs.Thank heavens! She will bunk alone for a few days to rest and he suggested a warm soak daily for 3-4 days.
He said she looked great but did suggest using Nekton S in the water.Said it was a vit/min. Dusting mealies is not very effictive because it wont stay on them. Has anyone heard of this Nekton S or the logic behind it??? Just curious. He seemed well informed and handled the little lady very well. He was also nice enough to tell me come whenever I can get here...he'd find time for me...even though I had never seen him before.
All in all...a great day!
 
I'm so glad that your little one is doing better and it's great that you have found a good herp vet!!
I am not trying to sound like I know more than a vet (because of course I do not)but are Leos and other Lizards normally prone to sprains and other related injuries( like people I suppose) or could there still be a calcium absorption problem that would make them predisposed to such injuries?
Could the 2 things even be releated?
I realise that a sprain is a not bone related injury but how often do such injuries occur in reptiles?
I ask because I have raised many babies to adults and have never observed
any such problem with any of my Leos over the span of the 10 years that I have been keeping them
Just curious

I wondered the same thing Sandy.
See if someone can help us out.Id try and use my sources but the herp vet around heres a weenie and not a people person. :uzi:

And congrats on a healthy gecko!
