Hi all. Two days ago I found my pygmy, perching unusually not using one of her limbs. The side of the leg she's not using is darkened in color from her tail down to her leg. I dont think this is an impaction because it would be on both sides right?? So I am thinking she may have hurt her leg, or has an infection. Does anyone know what it might be? Ive seen it before in this thread:

but all the info I gathered was that it could be a cricket bite (causing infection), or a bruise. I hope whatever it is, is treatable. I found a local vet but I havent called because I had work today. If they are open tomorrow I am making a phone call and an appointment for as soon as possible. But I'd like to get any ideas from you guys of what it could be. If it's a broken bone, it *may* heal (good...maybe) If its an infection it can be treated (better). I'm trying to get my own pic up here and having issues with that. Will repost and see if I can get it to work.
Thanks to anyone who may have any ideas and decides to chime in...I really don't want to lose this girl
