Dear Friends,
I want to discuss about the condition of my tegu gogon. He is now about 8 years, and he has the repeated problem at his tail. About 1 year ago, the tail got dried and loss about 16 cm. It is healed well, although not growing back again, only perform the stump.
About 2 weeks ago, I noticed his tail at the 5 cm length from the tip is beginning to get smaller again. First it was smelly and I thought it should be a tail infection/gangrene. But now it is almost completely dried and brittle, and I think it is going to loss again naturally with the border of 5 cm. I am preparing the worse possibility if gogon should get this tail amputated in case it is not loss naturally within weeks...........
I wonder if the old tegu has this kind of issue, because in my feeling he has the cycle of the age with the tail loss....I am sorry if this is not logic but I just think from my minds,...the tail is always ok without problem until he was about 7 years,...and beginning to have this problem at recent years....
I appreciate any input from you
