Damaged tail

Not open for further replies.
So I bought a bearded dragon from petsmart and she had a nipped tail. The black part fell off a little bit ago but the other part is still damaged a little. I am putting neosporin (spelling) on it and trying to keep it clean. But I noticed that the color on his tail closer to the damaged area has lost her pretty orange color. It's orange by her body but as soon as you start going down its a dull grey coloring. Is this normal?? Should I be worried? What are signs of tail rot??

theres mixed reviews on neosporin get some terrymycin cream on it your vet should lend you some

its still raw probly as for the color its normal for the tail to go from dull to body color as it gets higher

Is betadine okay to soak it in? It's really expensive but it's worth it if it'll help!!

Do I have to go to a vet for it? Or can I get it from a pharmacy? My vet won't give me anything with out a visit and blood work witch runs 140 ish which is so much money right now!!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
