Do I need to take her to a vet? Help ASAP

[Adam-r]

This is my 3 month old bearded dragons foot I received her with a toe nip that looked a bit infected. I have been soaking her foot in diluted betadine, spraying with vetericyn & giving her baths daily. Do I need to bring her to a vet or will the toe fall off & heal by itself. Please let me know asap

Hi Adam, I can't say for sure but the foot looks pretty good for having the toe mangled so you've done a good job with the soaking in betadine + Veterycin. It may or may not fall off but one thing to check, is the " ankle " area. Is it swollen compared to the other back foot ? Can you post a pic of the other back to show the contrast as well as a couple more angles of this foot ?

This was her foot the day I got her, here are some other pics of it now & her other feet for comparison.

It looks pretty good, I don't think it's going to be a problem. It's up to you to decide if you want to see a vet though.

Hello,

I agree, overall it doesn't look bad at all, not like some that have been pictured.
For now, just continue to keep it clean daily & keep an eye on it. The toe might just heal up & he wont even
lose it at all.
