Bearded dragon, tip of tail damaged

Stheno

Hey everyone,

Just looking for some advice, my bearded dragon who is at least ten at this stage has recently done some damage to the tip of his tail, the damage is about a quarter of an inch of his tail and all that is left is a little bit of bone.


I've no idea how he did it, he's eating and moving along fine.

I'm keeping it clean and keeping an eye on it.

I'm not sure a vet could do much, and wondering if anyone has any advice in that regard?

Thanks

Get him to either John bainbridge or bairbre O'Malley. He will need proper cleaning, possible antibiotics and dressing. You do not want this to get infected.

I had a dragon pull a nail. Got infected, took ages to clear it, spent a bit of time with John bainbridge and is fine now, wish I brought him sooner.
