Today I took my boy to the vet to investigate an unusual tail rot issue. This issue began about a month back when he began shedding and part of the shed became retained. About a week and a half ago, I removed the retained area by massaging the retained area with a soft bristled toothbrush I had discovered the scales under it were white in some areas and towards the tip possibly necrotic. I began watching this closely and applying neosporin to the afflicted area daily. It was six days ago now that I had gone to put the neosporin on it and discovered that the layer of scales above the afflicted area did not connect to the previous area of scales as they are supposed to, and you could see down to the dermis. I then scheduled an appointment as soon as possible.
Fast forward to today, I put him in a shoe box blasted the heat, it is winter, and made the trip down there with my father. We arrived no problem however we had to wait in the office forever, wait in the room forever, wait for estimates forever, and wait for meds forever. This is not the full scoop for service however.
The vet came in and looked at his tail. We concluded that it may have resulted from the humidity being too low, and that the area was truly necrotic. We also discussed the amputation that will occur on Tuesday. A third point to make about the surgery is that despite the necrosis the area that the dermis that is visible has healthy tissue and that she probably won't need to take extra off. Finally, the true reason for the amputation is due to concerns in degloving due to the bone not being involved in the rotting of the epidermis.
During and after this period I am to give him three medications metacam,a chlorhex solution, and one other that isn't labelled. These are to relieve pain, clean the wound, and to provide an antibiotic. I was also told to increase his humidity and that I may use shed ease. The bill of course was immense.
On a final note, the vet was surprised at my knowledge and over joyed by my responsibility. She offered me an internship and is also using Lenny in a case study.

So how is Lenny's tail looking now ? I don't see anything that looks like a health concern in the first pic...just a spot that didn't shed....is that down to the bone now ? Do you have a current pic to compare ? If you don't mind that is .
