    A trip to a Herp vet is a good idea. In the meantime, you can apply a plain (no painkiller version) antibiotic like Neosporin, Bactrin, or Silver based gel daily with a Q-Tip. Also, would look over it's enclosure to insure there are no sharp items in there or areas where frog could hurt itself.

    Please read this excellent care article: Frog Forum - White's Tree Frog Care - Litoria caerulea. As you can read in it; need to provide frog with a basking area that reaches 85F during day. Enclosure temp can drop to 75F at night. When full grown your frog will require a larger enclosure, around 18x18x24 in. is minimum I would recommend. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    sounds like the toe was caught in the door hinge? Act now and take or send pics to a vet for meds to prevent major systemic infection.
    Good luck.

    Also forgot to state that until injury heals; it's recommended to move frog to a hospital like enclosure with damp unprinted paper towels as substrate. Add a water dish, some fake silk plants and cover the sides with paper to reduce stress .

    Update: I've scheduled a visit with the vet for tomorrow morning. Shahar is still doing well, she gobbled down three crickets and was climbing all over my hands. I found that the fake vines that were in her tank snapped in half, though I'm not sure if that's what caused her toe to come off. Either way I removed it. I'd post some pictures, but I don't have access to a decent camera, not that Shahar would sit still for pictures anyway. Also, I made an error on the enclosure size, it is 18X18X24.
