hi guys
i bought a juvenile female albino leo about 2 months ago.
she is sooo friendly and gets on fantasticly with my other females but about a week ago i had to seperate her from them.
i noticed a large bite mark on the end of her tail, so i took her out hoping it would heal. the wound scabbed ova rele quickly but she dosnt seem to have any feeling in the end of her tail! (im guessing the girls must have thought her tail was a wax worm :S)
this morning i noticed the wounds have completly opend up, and if you hold her up to the light you can see there is no blood flow to the end of her tail :(
will it fall off on its own or should i have it removed? im rele worried that it might get infected and travel up the tail into her body!!
please help x

i can post pics for any one that would like to see her.

I suggest you post pictures, the assumption that there's no blood flow can end up being either true or false...
People will be able to help you more if they saw what this is about.

For a short term fix, put some non-medicated neoporin on the wound area and give her somewhere hot and private to heal up... and you'll definitely want to remove her from the other females, sounds like someone is bullying her.
