If this was your child I am sure you would have taken him/her to see a doctor. To many of us our pets are just as much our children as human ones. Take your iguana to the vet immediately if you have not already done so. Putting off medical treatment can mean the difference between life and death if there is hope.
As a note, have you been providing your iguana with a iguana rated UVB bulb and calcium supplementation? MBD (Metabolic Bone Disease) is a major factor in iguana fall injuries.

Emergency vets cost more than a normal visit to the vet. Give the vet a call first and find out if there is anything that can be done. That problem sound very specific so they should know the cause and know what treatment it may need and the cost. It does sound serious though. I have had a cat which had 5 kittens and other realtives have had cats with kittens but none of them had this problem you have described.

well give it a day or so and hope that he just nocked something small out of place but usually once they start rolling onto one side they are pretty much done. Take it to the vet if you have the cash. Good Luck

Depends on how long ago he fell. If it was more than a day ago he probably got hurt in the fall. You could always try to take him to the vet. Most times, animals have a way of healing themselves up just fine. If it continues though I would take him to the vet to get a check up. Just in case.

You will want to tae it to the vet, if he is falling over he could have a spinal injury or a cranium ingury and both are serious cases, a vet is to be contacted ASAP (As Soon As Possible)
