I honestly haven't had luck with them recovering from a solid foot. All of mine this year have had their leg(s) die. Keep an eye on it, and I would recommend popping any green blisters. Its the only thing I didn't do that might have helped. Spray hydrogen peroxide on it at least 1x a day, and keep it clean. It may start to slough if its real bad. Mine tend to linger in the feet for a few weeks, and then rapidly kill off the leg.
My thought process is that they can live without most toes, the can't live without a lower leg. At least that's the rule in my setup
Thank you so much for your insight! I'll keep an eye on it as time goes on and make sure to keep it clean. Do you know if Vetericyn would work in the place of hydrogen peroxide? I have a spray bottle of Vetericyn on hand, but not peroxide at the moment. I know they're different things, but Vetericyn is supposed to be a wound cleaner as well.
When I was checking his foot again after I posted, I did notice that the base of his toes where they meet the foot can move still, just his toes are solid, so hopefully that means he'll only lose the toes if anything and not start losing the lower leg.
