My friends dragons tail will not stop bleeding. It is not gushing but wont stop. There is not a reptile vet near her so taking it in right away is not possible. She is not sure what to do and is very afraid as the dragon is almost 8 yrs old.

Maybe wrap it in gauze but not tightly enough to restrict circulation.
@Drache613 is a vet tech, she might have advise. She is on late at night though.
It might be helpful to post a few pictures also.

Hello,

Do you have a picture of the tail? What type of accident occurred to cause the bleeding?
As suggested, you can use some gauze but not wrapping it tightly & using some raw unpasteurized
honey or silver cream. To stop bleeding, you can try covering it with corn starch, that may help it
to initially stop bleeding.

either she really likes me, or shes hungry
I can’t wait to see Dr.Wilson be a big dragon but I try to cherish hard the moments while he still fits in my hand 🦎
It’s been a month since I’ve joined bd.org! It feels like it’s been longer than that, but I’m glad I’m here and apart of this lovely community!
I can feel her staring into my soul demanding food
She was having a staring contest with a mealworm. I guess I never taught her to not play with her food, lol.
