Skin off toe

[Staciej]

This may sound crazy but has anyone’s bd lost skin on its toe? I’m thinking it may be from one of her nails but not sure. Trying to figure out if my theory is even possible. Thanks. I will post pictures tomorrow if she cooperates.

It's kind of hard to see in the picture, since it's blurry. It looks like that leg is about to shed. Are there healthy scales in that spot, or no? What is your beardie eating? Are there loose crickets or roaches in the tank that could have bitten her? If it looks like an injury, you can put aloe, neosporin, or raw honey on it. And I wouldn't soak her in water until it's healed. But especially if you use honey, you have to make sure no loose feeders are in there to bite her. Other than that, from what I can see, I'd just keep an eye on it to make sure it's nothing that spreads and it heals ok.

There are no scales. I clean it daily with Hibiclens and apply Fura-Zone and it has gotten better. She gets no crickets or roaches. I will try for a better picture.

We feed Phoenix worms daily and super worms as a treat 2-3 per week.

Oh, so not gearing up for a shed. She's white! So pretty!! Yeah, that definitely looks raw. Poor thing. Hopefully it heals up well with no issues.

Thank you we think she’s pretty too and changes so much with every shed. Hopefully it heals well with no complications. I think we will take her to the vet to be safe and get her nails done.

I would keep cleaning it like you are. She could have been shedding and the shed got pulled off somehow. If it spreads though or starts to look necrotic, you'll want to have a vet look at it.

I did not happen during a shed and there was a flap of skin hanging that came off on its own. We are taking her to the vet today to get her annual check up.

Vet checked her out and got a clean bill of health. Doesn’t seem to think we will have issue with her toe.

Excellent! Thanks for the update!

Glad the vet looked at it, looks like somehow those scales in that area got scrapped off. But it looks healthy just keep it clean that toe just may look weird here on out. Good looking dragon!

Updated Picture after shed. Thank you all for your advice. We can deal with a little imperfection on her toe.

she's beautiful and her toe just makes her more unique.
