Hey everyone, I made a post some months back about my finger lime that didn't last the winter. Since then I've gotten a brand new red finger lime! Unfortunately I believe some animals broke several of the branches, and I was wondering if anyone had some advice on what I should do? If I should prune them off, leave them, anything would be appreciated (I also included a picture of a 3rd branch that's really shooting out the side that I'm not sure what to do with) I must be missing something but it is not letting me upload the pictures . Here's a Imgur link with all 3 photos: imgur.com/a/ZvuCyNd

Your picture looks real healthy. Looks like enough growth and branches that it can tolerate pruning, if you really want to, but I don't think you need to. The wounds look like they can heal OK, unless I'm not seeing some bad floppy type of breakage. The branch shooting out the side could be staked into an upright position if it is desired for a leader. If you do prune it, or the broken branches, I'd try rooting or grafting them to make back-up copies in case something happens to the original.
