Sunni lost her big toe...I think

[missmeg]

My son got a 4 mo female beardie for Christmas. She has been doing well, already one through two sheddings.

I noticed this morning that she appears to have lost the longest toe on her right hind leg. I could swear that it happened only in the last day or so. The toe in question is now the same length as the one next to it and has no claw on it.

I think it may have happened to her when removing her from someone's shirt or something.

So HELP...does this require a vet visit? It's the weekend and I have not researched herp vets in the area yet.

For now, just keep an eye on it. Should swelling and infection appear, then I would get her into a vet asap.

A dab of neosporian (NO HYDROGEN PEROXIDE) will help too. It shouldn't be of huge concern unless it seems to be bothering her a lot or it starts to swell.
