Hello,

You are sure that happened in just one day? :shock: Usually things like tail trauma take time to
end up looking like that unless it is from a bite from another dragon & it happened immediately.
Is he/she housed alone?
Is there anything in the tank that would have injured it to that magnitude?
At this point, I would say a vet visit is in order because it doesn't look good at all. There could be
infection set in also. Try to get some raw, unpasteurized honey to put on the tail to help with any
infection. You could wrap it up in gauge to protect it, but a vet visit is in order!

Needs immediate vet attention.

It's been either bitten by another dragon who shares the same enclosure, or been injured by something heavy or sharp pinching it, it needs vet surgery VERY URGENTLY.

Hello,

How is your dragon doing today?
Are you going to be able to find a vet to get him in to see to treat that tail? They will have to
remove the end, to keep it from getting infected.
Let us know how he/she is doing.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
