Rarely do dragons toes just fall off for no reason. What happened to cause the trauma? Is it house with another that bit it? Did something restrict the bloodflow? Try and give as much info as possible. If you have a pic to show more detail that can help. Baby dragons will lose tails and toes and some times feet or legs to hungry or aggressive cage mates. 99 out of 100 times this is due to lack of feeding and overcrowding in cages. Babies housed together need to be fed 3-6 times per day.

Most cases a tail or toe will lose bloodflow and dry up and fall off. Usually when this happens there is little bleeding.

For a case where bleeding is involved.
1. clean the area by flushing with water.
2. apply a triple antibiotic ointment daily.
3. keep it in a clean environment. I'm talking about something like paper towels that get changed frequently. You don't want crud getting into the problem area.
4. If the bleeding continues you can try a steptic pencil (found in most shaving isles at the drugstore.)
5. Keep an eye out for infection . Make sure it is not spreading up the foot or leg. If this is the case you need a vet and antibiotics. Let me know how it goes.
