Fire Belly Toad hurt leg

22 14:04:05

Question
One of my fire belly toad's leg is hurt. He dragging it. I don't know what's wrong.
What can I do?

Answer
Hi Julia, This could be caused by a number of different things such as soft tissue damage, bone injury or infection. First-aid options on tiny amphibians are rather limited. Make sure he has easy access to food, separating him from the others into a smaller enclosure is probably advisable. If the cause is a physical injury the leg may also become infected from being dragged. Check the surface and if you notice anything that looks like lesion then a tiny dab of Neosporin can be applied to the area.
