HELP Please

If you don't have a decent herp vet, and I mean this in all seriousness, you may consider clipping off the affected apendage.

Amputations should ONLY be done by veterinarians.

And people who carelessly handle chainsaws.

Careful Kurt, don't want another accident. Lol..

I've had 'decent' luck removing necrotic limbs from caudates and swabbing the area with standard bacterial/fungal solutions. It is risky I suppose, but there are no decent herp vets around (frankfort, ky) me that I know of. I've had two instances with tiger salamanders where I removed badly infected legs and some gills, isolated the animals, and changed their water daily...They recovered quite well, but I suppose it's ultimately a gamble.

Yes, it is. I am not sure, but I think salamanders deal with this better than any frog. Still I don't reccomend it.
