Sounds like he could have pulled a muscle or broke something. I would get him to a vet as soon as you can

Thanks that's what I was thinking it's gonna be 2 days any way I can ease his suffering :(
maybe a warm bath, gentle lefting him out of his tank without him getting too wiggley less movement the better. but a warm bath might help

Just got back from the vet it's a clean break his bones and him are very healthy but it's in a bad spot they can't cast it they may not be able to operate just an amputation I'm crushed how did this happen to me :( endless tears home now watching him suffer till went day just gave pain meds hoping it's all over soon <3
im sorry..i hope he will be ok
OMG. I'm so sorry about what happened. I hope it still will be able to heal some how. I know it's in a bad spot. But why can't they cast it ( so he would have some support ) ? Did you asked your Vet if you can put some elastic bandage with velcro on him to help support the arm ? I would just give him some baths and let him bask. I would move him around to much unless it's feeding time. Please keep us posted. I have seen a Tegu and a Iguana before who had a broken leg/arm. One of them had the arm or the let bandaged to the body. The other one had a popcicle looking stick taped to the leg/arm. It's been a while ago and I'm sorry I can't exactly remember wich lizard had what broken.

I am so sorry to hear this. Accidents happen it isnt your fault, some times things happen and we cant provent them. What are you going to do for him? Dont wait too long to decide ok. I have seen many three legged lizards that live a long and happy life. Please make sure not to move him to much. I would remove anything in his cage that he can climb on to any height as well
