I hardly ever even handle himI'm the only one who ever does. If it is an injury will it heal? I did have him out to take some pictures a few days ago, but I certainly didn't drop him... or step on him or anything. I'll take him to a vet regardless but I can't really see a vet putting a cast on him or something of the like. It was weird... It started down low on his body and start moving up closer to his head and now he's just holding it there. At first I thought he was going to throw up but he's since stopped the thrashing and backwards swallowing.
