Hello,

Oh ok, that is great! You can put some aloe vera gel, or shea butter on the tail to help try
& get the stuck shed off. It should work itself off if the tail has shed. How long has it been
there?

I use Meijer spring water no Chemicals

My dragons name is Pilar. She is 10 years old. She was in great shape last August and then started to lose weight. I took her to the vet and she was down to 360 grams and very thin. After 2 gram stains and 2 fecals, antibiotics, probiotics she is doing much better. But the vet discovered a tape worm while checking the 2nd fecal so she was treated for that and had her 2nd dose of the tw medication. I have NO idea how she picked this up. Now I am not sure if it is safe to give her feeders sold from pet stores and or sites that provide feeders for bearded dragons. So I would start with the vet. I have been giving her herbivore oxbow with bee pollen and blueberries mixed in it. It is Critical care Oxbow on amazon or wherever. Good luck Chinook Girl.
