    Well I don't think it will ever be normal.
    Hopefully the blood supply to the rest of her foot hasn't been compromised.
    If it has it will get infected and need to be amputated.
    If you have a vet that can treat the toad that would be the best thing.
    Keep a close eye on the foot if turns a dark color not like the rest of the skin.
    then the foot will need to be amputated.
    Or it might just fall off on its own

    I would hold off until you get some crickets.
    She doesn't look like one day without food will hurt her.
    Has she had any Bowel movements.

    also I would change the paper towel every day and the water.
    Well water is ok for now.
    but for long term use I would use a water treatment for fish.

    Also it looks like the break is at the ankle not at the knee joint.

    I just got her some crickets, extra small. Would a vet have to amputate it? I don't want to do that. I do not trust myself at all. I hope it just falls off on it's own if there is no blood going to it. If it does fall off I will just put melafix on it. Would that be okay? I will post pics about every 2 or 3 days to keep u updated on her leg. Thanks.

    Sadly, thismorning I found her flat out on the floor of her cage with her legs spread out almost dead. I picked her up and her eyes were open, but very watery. Her lower stomach area is all brown. It is hard to tell if she is dead, so I layed her back in her cage to take her last breath. She must have gotten an infection?

    That was too quick for an infection,
    It was more than likely an internal injury and bleeding.

    Sorry to hear the little one didn't survive the attack.

    You did the best you could for the little one and made it the most comfortable it could be.

    I hope she wasn't in any pain. She did have a small pink bump on the very top of her leg. Poor little toad.

    Sadly not in this case,
    The toad sustained internal injuries causing internal bleeding.
