Hi
I'm worried about my beardie, the end of his tail has suddenly gone dark over the last few days. It is only black on the top, not underneath. He is a rescue beardie and has MBD so has never been fully "healthy" I've had him for 5 years and he is not housed with another beardie, gets new 12% uvb tube changed every 6 months. He also refuses to eat live food so is often fed a protein slurry few days a week.
His tail hasn't experienced any trauma and he hasn't been black bearding, he just recently shed his face and thought the tail might be getting ready to shed but it hasn't changed colour or texture.
Really need advice ASAP as I will take to emergency vet tomorrow morning if needed but I don't want to put him under any unnecessary surgery especially when he is a special needs dragon. I hope the picture link works?
