I’m not too concerned because it is not bleeding but I do want to know if there is something wrong that he needs the vet. Or what I should do to like keep it clean until the tip heals. The part that fell off was hard like a stick but it was only a tiny piece (granted he is still a juvenile) the rest of his tail seems healthy. I really just want him to be ok. I would put in a photo but I don’t know how. I’ve looked at some photos of tail rot and o don’t think it is tail rot but I could be wrong. In most photos the tail is like halfway dark, it’s just the tip of his and most of that fell off (there is still some left on) Please help

I contacted the person who bred him and they said this happened to a few of his siblings and she was concerned that it was tail rot but it never progressed more than the tip falling off and the tail was completely healthy afterwards. I’m still concerned tho because I am a new beardie owner and he is my first beardie.

Is there anything I should do to make sure it doesn’t happen again because the tip of his tail is sorta nicked so that could explain why it fell off. Or is there anything I should do to keep clean, is it at risk of infection or something?
