What do the foot pads look like—any scabs or cuts? Do his feet or his hock joints appear swollen? Is one leg weaker, or is he holding up a leg? Is he molting?

He has his left foot curled more like he can't move it.his right foot seems a tad bit stronger.he keeps both feet out in front of him when I hold him.right now I'm going to give him a nice soaking and then maybe we can see a little better but day before when it all happened I could not see any cuts or bruises but now after seeing pic up top the one with the little bumps underneath, see I did not see this other day.ill take photo after we get him cleaned up better.and he is not molting.his back end on his back feels different to me like his backend feels hard, stiff like.like it's dropped down some.hes good at spinning himself around to move himself but his legs won't work .he tries.but he sits with both legs in front

Welcome To BYC

It's hard to tell what may be going on with his feet.
Can you hold him and have someone take some well-lit clear photos of the bottom of his feet and toes?

Thanks!
