Bleeding scales?

Hi,
This is the first time I've been concerned about my bearded dragon- he seems to have some stuck shed on his tail and some of his scales seem to be bleeding. He doesn't seem to be affected by it at all (still moving around, being active, and eating), but I don't know if there is something majorly wrong. I am going to call the vet tomorrow, but is there anything else I can do to help him?

Yes, some photos would be helpful. Generally if there is an open wound you want to try to keep it as clean as possible. Applying an antibiotic cream such as plain neosporin may be a good idea too.

That doesn't actually look too bad. Hopefully the shed will break loose soon. You can try to soften the skin a bit by applying some plain aloe and see if that helps.

Thanks, everyone! I am going to give him some Neosporin and see if that helps.

Hi there, it doesn't look bad really, looks like his tail is going to shed soon [ but can be weeks from now ] but that one spot got rubbed off. Did you by chance pull that piece off ?

Hello,

I agree, that doesn't look too bad. Were you able to get some antibiotic ointment to put on it?
You can also try using some raw, unpasteurized honey or manuka honey too. It is highly
effective for wounds.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
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.
