PLEASE HELP with bearded dragon tail

[KarrieRee]

This is her tail as of this morning. She is in full shed right now. Hoping it’s a stuck shed. I’ve been placing the aloe on her tail. Had to go buy an aloe plant.

She's fine that's normal shed

This is her tail as of this morning. She is in full shed right now. Hoping it’s a stuck shed. I’ve been placing the aloe on her tail. Had to go buy an aloe plant.

When we touch her tail at a certain area the tail will move but she can be dead asleep. I wish I could have taken a video. That is what had me worried. Could it be a possible pinched muscle causing it to twitch/move when touched. I don’t think it causes her pain because she won’t wake up if she’s asleep.

Definitely stuck shed! No biggie as long as they shed it off, but it does look restrictive which, if left alone, can necrotize the end of the tail. I use Shed-Ease when my girl used to get stuck shed when I first got her. She had stuck shed likely due to not being given a multivitamin by her previous owner. A proper multivitamin/calcium regimen helps tremendously. A lot of good suggestions here, but keep in mind that they are dry shedders and can typically shed on their own when husbandry is good and they're given the proper supplements. Dry them off fully if you are soaking them to avoid fungal issues, and make sure they have a lot of rough surfaces to rub the shed off on.

Appears to be stuck shed, cutting off the circulation of the lower tail but I’m not too sure…

To me it doesn't look near as restricted as in the original pics. Let her shed and repost pics, i would keep up with the aleo until she sheds and see if it gets better. In the original pics it looked just a tiny bit swollen it may take that a few days to go down after the shed if it hasn't already

Hello,

It looks like it is starting to come off. Keep up with the aloe, hopefully that will help out. The tails are
so hard to shed off sometimes!
She looks really good overall though! Keep us posted on her shedding.
How is your Aloe plant doing?

Thank you all for the suggestions and help!! My plant is growing so fast I think I need to replant it in a bigger pot.

Hello,

Yes, aloe plants tend to grow pretty quickly so I'm glad it's doing well. It will be helpful when you need
it again!

Can you take a look at the tail now?? It looks a little dark at the end. I’m getting myself worked up again worrying.

Looks fine, might be a very tiny nick at the end but I can't see for sure. Even if so many beardies do fine with a nick.

Thank you for the quick response.

Hello,

I agree, the tail looks like it should shed off normally, just give it a bit more time! Even if there is a
small little bent it should turn out just fine.

Guys everything has shed off but her tail is the same but looks like it’s getting higher of being hard. Do know if it’s tail rot or not? I just need some guidance.

 

[AHBD]

It looks like various stages of shed, that's really common and lingers with mature dragons. The last inch or so does look a bit of so keep an eye on that. If it gets skinnier + twig like then get to a qualified reptile vet.

She gets soaked daily and this last shed was very difficult. Normally her sheds are so easy. Thank you. I am calling the vet in the morning to see if I can take her in. I’m just so scared. Still putting the aloe vera on the area.
