Loosing a toe

I was looking at Zilla today and noticed one of her rear pinky toes looks dark red almost black, so I looked closer and it looks like its dead. I dont know what happend, it was fine a few days ago when I inspected her during her bath. It looks like the bone is broken and there is a scab on the underside of the toe that is bleeding a little bit. It looks like the toe is just dangleing by the skin. It doesnt seem to bother her, she is still very active every day.

Is there anything I can do to save her toe? Or should I just let it fall off? What should I do?

I dont have a good enough camera to take a detailed picture of it.

Uptate: I took her to the vet, who gave me a perscription for antibotics, and a solution to soak her foot in. And that the toe will most likely fall off.
