Injured chile rose-hair

hi all
My chile rose-hair, Ingrid, escaped the other day, luckily I found her this morning but she was injured. On closer inspection her back foot is twisted in the wrong direction. There was a little bit of fluid (which I presume was blood) but that has stopped now but her foot is still twisted. Will the foot drop off and is there anything I can do?

I'm glad to hear that you found her. As long as the leak of fluid has stopped she should be ok although she may cast that leg but it will regrow in a moult or 2 and shouldn't bother her. Just leave her in peace for a few days to sort herself out.
