Leopard Gecko Hand Injury

[scottwest973]

Hi all!
My young leopard gecko was recently shedding and after she was able to get all the old skin off, the last bit that was on her hand ripped off her fingers, and now her from arm is skinless at the tip. I feel awful for her. What should I do to help? I've already made the environment as moist as I can.
Best,
Scott W

Get a topical antibiotic cream from your veterinarian.

So wait, was the skin just removed from her finger? Or were her fingers literally ripped off?! Either way, there isn't much you can do now, just make sure to keep the wound clean and like katie said above, you can get topical cream from a vet. As long as the wound does not get infected, it should heal on its own.

Her fingers are literally ripper off. I feel so bad for my little girl. Thanks for your advice everyone
