Mater's tail is the worst off.
I've been coaching my friend how to do wound care for the past week, but when I saw the tails in person yesterday, I knew Mater needed immediate vet attention.
In order for the tail to heal, Dr Folland decided to amputate about an inch to an inch & a half of it. That meant putting Mater all the way under and doing surgery. The other option was to do nothing and let the rot spread and slowly kill him. :( Luckily, there was room on the surgery schedule for Mater.
He's in recovery now and I'll go pick him up at 4 pm. His owner will take him home tonight. He'll get pain meds for a week and stitches out in a month. I think he will feel SO much better now. There were nerve endings and tendons sticking out of his tail end! Ow!
Here's a close up of his tail. It's gross. I apologize if it's too much.
This is why adult beardies should NEVER EVER cohabitate!!!!!
