Hello, my sulcata has been slightly less active than usual. He is still eating but doesn’t walk around the yard as much. I found this bump on the bottom of his foot. I’m having trouble finding a mobile vet in Scottsdale AZ. Any suggestions? Much appreciated!

Hello and welcome to the forum, neighbor!

I've heard great things about - Arizona Exotic Animal Hospital. A friend of mine takes her Sulcatas there. They have offices in Mesa, Tucson, and Phoenix. They do house calls, too!

Have you tried to wash off his paw to see better what's going on? Maybe it's a stinger or pricker that could be removed and squeeze out the pus if that's the case? Have you applied any disinfectant? Probably after a good soak, you could see better and do something about it. Keep us posted.

Thank you for the suggestion! I rinsed off his paw yesterday and applied a disinfectant. I’ll try to get him to soak today and see if I can see anything else that might be the cause. Good to know the Arizona Exotic Hospital does house calls! Thanks again.

Sheldon went to AZ Exotic Hospital today and they were great! He’s going to be taking some antibiotics and pain meds and we have some iodine to rinse off his wound. Hopefully he will be all healed up in a few weeks!
