Help with injury

[krypticrhacs]

Hi, I bought a pair of eloks a while back they were together as a pair before so I left them as a pair and havnt noticed anything wrong up until the other day. The female has some weird thing going on with her tail and then her back right foot is all swollen. I cant tell if her tail is due to a bite or not, but with her foot I have not seen any bite marks or any marks that would make me think is was from an injury. She also acts completely normal climbs all around, is not afraid of the male and eats like a trooper. She is usually the first of my eloks to eat and will come out with the light on to eat. Could it be from an infection or a bite from the male, and what is the best course of action should I take, cause I don't want her to lose her foot or her tail when I could have done something about it. I have attached pics of her foot and tail.

The swelling in that foot is pretty concerning. Possibly infection or broken toes. The tail wound looks more like a bite. Paired or not I would separate until both injuries are fully healed and would consider long term separation.

I would take her to a vet. It's entirely possible she'll need antibiotics, and that foot should be looked at by a qualified pro.
