!!!HELP!!!
My sweet leopard gecko baby vatuu dropped his tail last night!! I’ve never had a leopard gecko drop a tail before what should I do??!!! I cleaned and disinfected his tank and everything in it. Then I put paper towels down for a clean sanitary substrate and I plan on replacing them every 1-2 days. What else can I do for him?? Any and all advice is appreciated!!
@sunfish-exotics @followthebluebell you’re the blogs on the top of my mind who maybe have advice?
Reblogging to remind myself to respond when I get home
Basically- keep the wound clean, use paper towel substrate, give them a humid hide using damp paper towels, and feed as you would normally. You should start seeing the tail healing and regrowing relatively soon. If you see any black or necrotic looking tissue definitely go to a vet, otherwise he shouldn’t need any additional treatment. I would recommend not using any sort of anti-bacterial ointment on the wound, but if you do be sure it doesn’t contain painkillers.
