There have been moments where he turns into animals with excellerated healing factors and waited for his injuries to heal before becoming human again. The only example of this i really remember was in the Titans book.
After Jericho possesed Cyborg, he used his body to beat gar senseless. Later Cyborg goes to check on Gar and remarks how surprised he is that Gar has almost completely healed. Gar explains that he turned into a salamander and stayed in that form until he was healed up again.
However, while in human form, I don't believe he has any special healing abilities.
That's an interesting question , I already had thought of this before.
Imagine that Beast Boy loses his right arm, then he becomes a wolf. The wolf has the right upper leg? It's a possibility, at least I think his body will try to heal the wound.
Another case, imagine that Beast Boy loses both eyes, then turns into a clam, a mollusk without eyes. Beast Boy regain his eyes when he is human again?
The affair that I find amazing is how Beast Boy can generate billions of cells in a split second. That would allow it to heal quickly, of course, there are damages that can not heal regardless of the weather.
@juniorA96758: From what has generally been done. Beast boy's injuries stay with him in his transformation. I have seen moments where he was a bird and taken damage on his wing, then when he returned to his human form his arm retained the damage. Also he will often get cuts or such injuries while in various animal forms and they remain on the same parts of his body after becoming human again. Basically, if he retains an injury in one form, the injury will exists in the anolouges parts of all his other forms.
However this does become mucked up when you consider animals that have part that don't have anolouges parts in common with other species.
Using your example of the wolf. If he lost his arm while human, when he turned into a wolf (or any other animal with four limbs anologues with humans) his wolf form would be missing the same limb.
But, he could in theory turn into an animal capable of regenerating it's limbs (like a crab or starfish) and if he remained in that form long enough for it's biology to regenerate the lost limb, then perhaps when he turned back his human limb would return as well.
It's all really up in the air and left to fan speculation until some writer makes it official and does it well enough that people don't refuse to accept it as cannon.
By the way, clams actually do have eyes (a multitude of them in fact)
