Thanks for the replies everyone! He seems to be doing fine, but I couldnt get him to the vet today because I couldnt find a reptile vet that was in the office, I called one vet who was supposed to call me back and help me over the phone but i never got a reply. He is still very active and eating normally so we have calmed down a little bit but as soon as I can get him somewhere I will. The 24 hour vet I have around here, doesnt see reptiles or I wouldve taken him last night and the same with the vet my dog goes too. Thank you so much for your advice and comfort. I'll keep you updated with what I find when he can finally make it in to one of the only two reptile vets in the area :(


update- I did the saline soak and put some ointment on his foot. His behavior is still the same and he is eating right now. Still wants to walk around everywhere and get into things!


Here are some pictures I took just before I soaked his foot in the saline solution.
