So long story short my elder brother got a Beardie for his daughter about a week ago. I call him Nemo.
So Nemo was offered to my brother for free from PetSmart because Nemo had a missing toe. The on-staff "Vet" said it was caused by poor shedding. I have two Beardies myself I educated them from day one on all the essentials and told them to keep an eye on the dark "hand" of his that he lost his toe on. Welp on Christmas Eve two more toes on the same hand are gone. They said they didn't see his toes in his enclosure.
He's been with me for two days and ill be having him for about a week while they are on holiday.
He is completely normal he acts like his hand is not a problem.
From other posts I have read on here I have started to do the following regiment
*daily bath 20 minutes+
*diluted betadine and Neosporin
I need help resolving this there is only one vet even close that does reptiles and is not taking any new patients. I'm a little lost on what I need to do right now besides what I'm doing. I have cared for several animals from farm animals to pets. so I'm comfortable doing whatever I need to but sadly vets not available according to my reptile supplier there are only two in the area and one he will never trust again so I'm not gonna risk it and the other is not taking any new pets because of the extreme restrictions we have right now due to covid. I'm reaching out to every one of my vet tech friends to see if they know anything that could help.
