His name is G, and he is like a year old! very special to us in the family!
He is eating and stuff just not much movement.
I took him to the VET but I think more could be done to help G.

Depends on the severity of the fracture. Often simple fractures can heal on their own. Others need surgery. Is your vet experienced with reptiles? Get a second opinion if you're not sure. Meanwhile, make sure he is getting vitamins daily in his salad, his basking temps are correct (might want to bump them up a bit to speed healing) and UVB light is no older than 6 months (as UVB helps calcium metabolism). Keep his pool very clean to encourage good hydration.

He should have a splint on the leg . If the vet did not splint it , find another vet asap . If he did and your iguana is eating well then I would give him time to heal . Do not handle him or let him climb . Remove any high rocks or branches from his cage .If your worried about him give the vet a call .

don't worry, if he's not moving much he is either trying to recover by himself or hes just tired. I have a bearded dragon who has been injured before. as long as he is eating and going to the bathroom regularly there's nothing to worry about he will heal by himself.

make him a splint for his leg so he will get more movement as it heals
