https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/11749/bearded-dragon-foot---help When I was visiting a school that does animal management courses, the teacher asked me to have a quick look at the bearded dragon they have. She has a swollen LH foot around the metatarsal area. It&#39;s quite solid and non-painful. She is otherwise wellen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/64447?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 26 May 2012 11:47:28 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:aeb0db8d-87b4-4aa2-bf53-0637d2ae7ebeMarie Kubiak<p>Also worth considering articular gout in a beardie, especially as the swelling is solid. Aspiration samples should feel &#39;gritty&#39; when placed between glass slides and the slides slid over each other and will appear crystalline and refractile on microscopy. Blood uric acid levels can be measured in a ventral tail vein sample and only need a tiny amount (0.2ml but a full haem/biochem would be good if owners will find).</p> <p>Marie</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/64423?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 25 May 2012 18:17:17 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:c1be425a-1ee8-421c-935d-099a208159a0Mark Rowland<p>Hello Rads are needed. Osteomyelitis can undergo haematogenous spread and so a lytic lesion may necessitate amputation. Post them if you wish but X-ray the whole body Goodluck</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
