Hey guys,
Long time lurker first time poster. Please don't scorn me as I've already beaten myself up about this and my boyfriend can attest to this.? My baby beardy, Dex, got his tail pinched in his tank when I was moving his screen to modify it to make it one piece with his SUV tube light. The tail tip itself hadn't severed but he did have a small cut. I went straight to these forums and cleaned it and put a bit of polysporin on it. He went back to his own business and was fine. Later that night when I went to re apply some poly he jumped and basically broke it nearly clean off. A vet tec friend of mine walked me through what to do, (this was at nearly midnight by now w/ no bets open) and severed the tiny top that had broken, gave him a betadine soak and poly'ed him up again. This was two days ago. He is still eating as much as he normally does, regular bowel movements(all healthy poops) and is basically back to himself(I'm still upset about hurting him?). The wound itself is bright and clean but the skin around is a little dark. My friend and her husband(former beardy owner) are pretty sure no rot has set in but suggested I get a second opinion from you guys here. I'm sorry for writing so much, just wanted to make sure I had everything laid out.
