okay, i'll call the vets rn

 

[matero3o]

i mean..i already called today telling them i sent a email with photos on it
do you guys think i should get it amputated?

 

[CooperDragon]

That's up to the vet to decide. We're just encouraging an exam so an expert can have a look and determine if that is necessary or if another treatment would be appropriate. This is why we suggest working with a vet who has experience working with reptiles and dragons in particular.

im talking to a vet tech who works with exotics on my phone rn via kik
shes saying antibiotics all work different, give it a few more days she said.

How's the tail looking ?

 

[matero3o]

I was told it should fall off next shed

 

[matero3o]

update: Tail fell off, it seems to be healing well

ill post a photo update later.

 

[CooperDragon]

It's good that it's healing well. Once it's healed over it shouldn't pose a problem going forward. Just keep an eye out for any further signs of shriveling.

 

[matero3o]

Major update but now there's a bump on the tail I don't think it's anything though I think he'll just grow into it

- do you notice the kink in this picture I don't think it's anything though

 

[matero3o]

Also do you guys think it's healing well

 

[CooperDragon]

It looks to me like it's healing pretty well. The bump may be swelling related to the shed which is normal but it shouldn't get any bigger so I'd keep a close on on it along with the tail tip for changes over the next few weeks.

Just wondering how his tail is doing.....still looking O.k ?
