My toad's jaw is broken. What home care can I give this amphibian?

Question

My pet southern toad seems to have a broken jaw and there is what seems to be a part of the jaw starting to poke through the skin. There is no blood. Veterinarians near me do not know how to handle amphibians so i cant take him there. I just wanted to know if there was any thing that i can do for him at home. Pet's info: Amphibian | Toad | Male

Unfortunately for this type of injury there is no home treatment you can do. Hopefully the jaw will just heal on it's own. You just need to make sure he is eating and if not, you may need to force feed some Critical Care diet like this one: ( https://emeraid.com/emeraid-carnivore/ ) Be sure his "normal" diet is 100% correct and that you are using supplements. I find it hard to believe a toad would break it's jaw with no trauma so I would be worried about a nutritional deficiency.
