Broken Arm- Anything I Can Do?

[heather]

One of my axies was acting wierd when I got home today, she was curling around sideways trying to bite at something. I didnt think much of it until she tweaked and started swimming around the tank- one of her arms just kinda flopped and waved in the current she made.
I assume its broken or dislocated...and I cant exactly set the thing and put it into a cast so what can I do? Anything along the lines of pain management perhaps?
I am not expecting to be able to do much, but I just hate to see my baby in this sort of situation.
Thanks~Heather}

Hmm. That's a toughie.
You could do a splint - using a suitable material wrapped in softer material, bound down either side of the leg to keep it straight until it fixes (we did this with a toad).
Alternatively, just try to keep her comfortable, and it should either repair or regrow.

Keep us updated.
