[Lmlaxo]

Hi there,
Sadly when I got my Panther Chamelon back from the reptile sitter store , her front paw was a bit weird. They say they don’t know what happenned. Any idea what happenned and what should I do?
Should I bring her to the vet?
Thank you

Was it kept in a glass exo terra ? Almost looks like it got crushed in one of the hinging doors.
I would strongly suggest bringing it to the vet.

+1 that would be my guess also. Pinched in the door when they closed/opened it.

Looks like a crushing injury - I agree that her foot probably got caught in the door. She's probably going to lose those toes; they may fall off on their own, or they may need to be amputated. I'd bring her to a vet and get that checked, see what they recommend. They'd probably prescribe a pain med/antiinflammatory, maybe antibiotics and a cream to help keep the site clean.

I am not a vet nor have i ever dealt with almost severed toes, there for i have no helpful information on that. There appears to be broken bones in the toes and you are at risk of infection and necrosis if thats the case.

I would say that everyone is spot on and it got smashed in an enclosure door. You can even see where some scales are missing on her wrist. Poor thing...

Agree with all above and vet visit would be on my calendar. Hope things get better.
