Hey all,
I've checked on my male leo today after finishing a set of night shifts and found that he hadn't finished his shed (which is not uncommon), that doesn't worry me to much as its a common occurrance, even with a moist hide. But I've noticed at the end of his tail has turned rather red, I've got him out and checked him over and can't see any cuts or bruising, also there's no skin around the tail, so bit puzzled as to what it is.
I've cleaned him in warm salty water and put some Tamodine on it, I've checked the vets hours and they are unfortunately closed, so a visit tomorrow will have to be in order, which I'll ring for at first hours.
Anyone got any ideas of what else I can do in the mean time?
