Hi Gang,
Well, it's been several weeks since Xander had the tip of his tail (about 2.5 inches) removed due to severe injury from the wicked people who had him before us. He's much happier now, much more active, but I am a bit concerned about the way the tip of his tail is healing.
As you can see in the pix below (click for larger version), the skin and flesh has pulled backwards and left the tiniest bit of bone exposed. It doesn't seem to bother him, but I worry about possible infection. We still haven't found a reliable herp vet around here, so I hesitate to take him back to vet that nearly killed Bailey during a simple amputation.
Have any of you had any experience with this sort of thing?
Thanks!
