millipede fell out of hand and landed on the concrete. on one of his last segments it appears that is has broke and a white mucas was coming out.he has very little movement in his legs on the last few segments.need help,please reply

I myself don't handle millipedes in that fashion, which is dangerous to the pede if it fell on hard ground.
I also have other pets like African Scorpions, Giant African MIllipedes and some tarantulas which all i rarely handle unless i need to clean the tanks out. I had that happened to me in the past when i first started my hobby and when that happens, they won't live much longer.. Sorry about yer pet, if you get another one, please be careful with them they're Fragile! If you insist on handling a invertabrae, scoop it into a container like a deli cup or something and have it crawl onto yer hand on a table or couch or something. .... don't let it get into an Afghan if there's one on the couch, they'll get their legs stuck and the legs may rip off bleeding to death..
