Hi All! Smaug’s tail is looking strange again. I have put a pic from last November to compare. He ended up losing the tip of it soon after. He slept from February to the end of June. Two days ago I noticed the the darkness in his tail is moving up some. The scales are really pronounced also. The underside still seems fine. The kink is from me accidentally stepping on it while on the grass a couple of summers ago. The light ring is what I believe is stuck shed from the last time he shed there. The tail is not sensitive. I have been soaking it in povidone-iodine and applying antibiotic ointment three times daily just in case it’s tail rot. I’m hoping it might be the start of a new shed. I would like opinions. His vet in 200 miles away, but if need be I would certainly take him there.
