Broken Leg?

[memojo1979]

Hi!
I've been doing a big clean of my axies tank today, so I can try a new sand subsitute + I've noticed that 1 of my wild-type's back legs is facing the wrong way (the toes are facing towards the tip of the tail + the sole of the foot is facing upwards)
There's nothing really in the tank that s/he could hurt it on, but I guess it could've been caught under / down the side of the filter.
Any tips?
Part of me is wondering if it should be removed (I'd have to get it done by a vet, obviously, though I don't think there are any near me that have much experience with amphibians) so that hopefully a replacement would grow back the right way round? Or, should it just be left in the hope it sorts itself + heals even if it then remains the wrong way round?

I think either of those options is reasonable (amputation by vet, or leave it be). Any change since you posted? Is this axie kept by itself or with another?

Thanks for your reply.
Leg is being held the right way round now + with different confusion I started another thread, so here's the update link - http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-be...tl/73936-fungus-healing-wound.html#post268651 :happy:
