My iguana got herself stuck under the refrigerator and when she emerged, she skinned the scales off her toe on her hind foot. What should I do to help prevent infection? Will the scales grow back? I cant afford a vet bill. Should I cut the toe off? -RE

Since the invention of doctors and the vets and such, people have seemed to forge that our bodys have some pretty good defense and healing capabilites. Your iguana will be fine, just keep it clean. People go to the doctor for EVERYTHING. Stomach aches, I even saw a small kid in there who fell in some grass and wanted stitches for no reason. your body is by far the most complex and well built thing ever made, use it.

Hey Alisa, I have another question. Is it healthy to let my iguana out to run around the house? And what about her not liking water? Can I use vitamin e on her toe?

Rae, Do not cut the toe off. Bathe the foot in warm saline solution (1 part salt to 9 parts water). Add a few drops of iodine to the water. Iodine is cheap to buy from the chemist. Good luck.
