Bufo Alvarius: Ellie has a broken front leg / forearm ...Please HELP

[Heatheranne]

Hi Olli,

It is likely the vet could reset the bone if it hasn't already started to heal in that position. If no infection starts, they can live with injuries and disabilities if cared for. In the wild they could more easily be caught as prey. Are there any open skin areas? Does the leg have any movement at all or is he just protecting it? Can he hold it up? Or is it limp?

No open damage. And Ellie can jold it, just don't fully stand on it. When I hold her, she even can move her fingers. Maybe its just sprained.
Will let you know. Thanks again!

Just to finish the story. Haven't been to the vet still, but it seems its not necessary, since Ellie is doing all well and handles her front leg normally.
So thanks everyone taking care and all the best to you.

Happy 2014 btw.
Love, olli

Keep missing this thread updates . I'm very glad she recovered well . When I read about toad wriggling her toes knew things were going well.

Yeah, she's 100% back to normal. Though I just found that she is a he

But I searched a bit in panic all internet and couldn't really find much, so thats why I opened a new thread about it, if someone searches toad broken leg in the future, he/she will get to this here and see that even after heavy fall like this, the leg will eventually heal and all is well again, after only 6 weeks...

Thanks, love to everyone. <3
