She didn’t really say other than possibly he didn’t shed his tail and the skin suffocated it. And I did slightly nick his tail a few months ago in the door :( so it could be either.

yes im curious

yeah i feel where i live they charge an arm and a leg. And its not just here its all over the county. what would this go for where you live? this was my bill for yesterdays visit!

I went to the vet yesterday and she said that the hole was not from the cricket, but from the infection in the tail and it was a gland that is draining the infection. And i did look at a picture from the day before and the hole got bigger and longer and there was no cricket in the tank. so maybe...

Thank you! I’m calling the vet to hopefully get in today. Will follow up and let you know her suggestion :) I appreciate all the support and advise.

yes i'm sure that has a lot to do with it. But like i said he's been antibiotic free for 6 days and this all of a sudden happened. He's not eating normally and now i'm dealing with the cricket hole and tail rot. Hes 5+ and wondering if he's getting old and slowing down :(

not feeling good might have caused the tail rot?

he stopped eating greens about 5 days ago. and i've given him maybe 5 blueberries a day.

i get that. i'm trying everything green and he wants nothing. i could try making a green smoothie and syringe feed him which im now good at since i had to syringe feed him for a month.

Nope. i was kind of freaking out trust me. They did blood work, xray, fecal test, and a round of Panacur and i took some omnivore home. I'm predicting 500$ for amputation. i live in the Bay Area which always comes with a pretty price. Sucks but this is where i live. Norman is with me now and i...

yes my vet is awesome. she's considered the top in my county, and she helps me with my 15 chickens too. i definitely trust her. it's just not cheap. i walk in the door and its 85$ The beardie RI cost me 1K i just can't believe the cricket got to him last night and ate at his tail. Does that...

i have the raw honey and bandaged it all up for the cricket hole and for the tail rot i have neosporin. BUt it's so stiff when i soak it, it doesn't bend at all :(. i have no idea how this happened.

Crazy that the infection is moving quickly, as he just finished his one month round of Antibiotics of Panacur last week. How does one get this?! I keep everything so clean. And his Calcium levels came back good and his temp and uvb is all right. i'm so confused as the last 2 months have been...

i feel like as soon as he finished his last round of antibiotics for the RI the tail thing started. i have lots of photos and his tail has always been white for about 4 weeks. i thought it was the beginning of his tail shed. May 22 June 9th
