skeletal structure on my stimmy

[lynbt]

Hows it going all? We brought a baby stimmy (unfortunately sight unseen ) and when we got it home i noticed not only that it looked hungry/skinny but theres something wrong with its body around the center, its flat instead of a round shape its oblong (thick but skinny) she eats well, gets around, but the center of her body ( where its flat)just falls to one side or the other.....any ideas? we spoke to the people we brought her from and they are insistant that theres nothing wrong...but clearly there is, even a amature like myself can see theres something wrong...as i said she eats moves everything else good but...
any ideas would be much apprieciated
Many thanks Lyn

Photos would help. Are you sure it's not just a lump from its last meal?

I would go to a reptile vet and get them to have a look....

You should get a definitive answer rather than.....'somethings wrong'

If Klaas told you there is something wrong, then I can assure you, there is something wrong. If you are south of the river take it to Warnbro Vets (Bruce) if you are north, then Watttle Grove (either of the Tims - known as T1 & T2). it sounds like it will require an X-ray to diagnose the problem fully, but I am only guessing there. the vets I have mentioned are reptile experienced and very good. At the same time they are very reasonably priced, especially for reptile consults.
