Awhile back I posted and asked for advice on a tail issue. The last 1.5 inches on my guy's tail is very dark, very dry -dead feeling. Like a stick. He is otherwise fine, but I was worried about tail rot or something. I was advised to soak him and look for retained shed. He bathes every day for about 20 min (and poops in the tub), so I soaked him and put some Lubriderm on the tail and then looked for retained shed. I saw some and rubbed it off, once I did that, the tail looked red and sore right before the dry dark part. The next day, the dry dark tip of the tail broke off (!). I soaked the stump of the tail in very mild Nolvasan solution and then put Neosporin on it. These photos show the tail 2 days after the tip cam off.
Am I treating it properly? Is there anything I should be doing better? Advice?
