Broken toe and more

So I don’t know exactly when, but he broke his toe and I believe that his bone is exposed. I’ve talked to several other keepers. They all said that if I did take him to a vet that they couldn’t do anything about it and would just say keep it clean and go home. It’s slightly swollen but not an excessive amount. It doesn’t seem to bother him much and he walks on it normally. He is now getting baths on a regular basis. I can’t give much of a back ground because he is a rescue. He s six years old and in repti carpet which I keep clean. He also has had a green patch on his back since I got him. Agin doesn’t seem to hurt him but wanted to know if it was a potential Health problem. He also has clogged pores, hints the baths any advice on how to get them out? Any advice on this stuff would be grate. I would try to get a picture but not sure how to do that yet.

Please post pics of toe and his back --- that would be most helpful

And then paste the XIMG code to your post.

Is he black bearding at all? Do you know how he broke his toe?

If it's possible that he got it stuck in the repticarpet, it might be best to remove it.

there was a tiny bit of blood earlier on but it hasn’t bleed since I found out swelling also appears to be going down. Here is a pic for the back thing as well

So I think it got snagged while he was climbing. I’m getting a new cage so he can’t do that anymore ( he sometimes climbs the screen. Noted that screen isn’t the best but he stoped a while back. he’s not any more black than normal and seems like his normal self. He didn’t seem to mind if I touch it which I don’t know if that’s good or bad. I sought if it was the carpet I’ve never seen him do that before and the carpets still pretty solid

The toe doesn't really look too bad. Maybe a little swollen. I don't see any exposed bone. It will likely heal over and end up being just fine. A ot of dragons end up breaking or twisting a toe. I'd keep an eye on it to make sure it does heal up right. If there is exposed flesh, putting some raw unpasteurized honey on it will keep bacteria away and help heal it.

Do you have a picture of the patch on his back?

I am not sure other than baths---- Brandon or some others on here might be able to answer that question

I see the back picture now.

It kind of just looks like retained shed to me. You can try to use lamisil on it once a day. If it is just shed, it should help loosen it up. If it is some type of fungal infection, it will help also.

As far as the femoral pores, I typically don't worry at all about them unless they are really bad. IME bathing doesn't really help at all. But truth be told, I haven't had to deal with them really. If you want to post a picture of them we can tell you if they are concerning at all. But generally they are managed themselves by them climbing over their rocks and branches.

Hello,

Do you have a mesh type hammock hanging up in the tank that he could have snagged
it on?
I agree, it doesn't really look all that bad but the raw honey could help out in case it might
want to get infected at all. Does it seem to hurt him any?
