Toe injury?

[Merasheslo]

Hi so I was getting my beardie Titan out today to feed him and I noticed what looks like a little injury on his toe. I am not super worried about urgent issues I know to keep it clean ect. I am really just hoping that he is not in danger of losing his toe. Any help would be appreciated!

It doesn't appear to be hurting him or effecting his mobility.

Tank:
40 gall
repticarpet
110-105 basking
85 cool side
reptisun 10.0

It does look like maybe he snagged it on something. Is there an open wound or is he bleeding under the skin? Do try to keep it clean and keep him from stressing it as much as possible. Limit climbing, remove mesh, etc.

No open wound that I can see so it must be under the skin. I removed what I could from his tank just have a little piece of drift wood for him to get to basking temps on. Should I let him soak in warm water or just let him be?

I'd just let him be for now. As long as it stays clean, the toe should heal itself up. Hopefully it will heal without the end falling off but it's hard to tell and not much you can do about it that I can think of other than what you've been doing so far.

A several drops of butadiene into about a cup of luke warm water to make a solution that looks like strong tea in colour and soak injured toe In this 2 - 3 time a day for about 5 -10 mins will help avoid any bugs getting a hold and causing an infection.

Wont hurt even if there is no obvious open wound.

I just wanted to let anyone who wanted to know that his toe has healed. I gave him a bath today and his toe washed off nice and there does not appear injury at all now.

I'm so glad to hear that it has healed without a problem =)
