My beardies tail :(

[Beardiemon546]

My bearded dragon- KhujoS tail has gotten grey !! It’s lost it’s orange. . He has lost his appetite. He’s irritable. He is NOT happy. The tip of the tail is dry. It isn’t dark. But very dry. Now looking back at pictures of him, it seems the grey has been moving closer and closer to the base of his tail…. I’m so worried

Post a pic? The tip of my beardies tail fell off the other day (dried and fell off….) as long as it isn’t staying wet it should heal up just fine…

If it loses Circulation or shed gets removed or sometimes it just dies for some reason it’ll end up falling off just make sure you keep it nice and clean that should be all OK

info on tail rot
Causes of tail rot are:
1. Injuries/trauma - caused by falls, or by any other bearded dragon.

2. Malnourished - make sure he has a balanced diet and he gets the nourishment he needs

How to identify tail rot:

1. Dried out - Decaying tail won't be able to retain moisture, check if it's dried out completely.

2. Very thin, brittle - Decaying tail won't be able to process nourishment, causing it to become more thin and brittle.
What to do after finding out it has a tail rot:
1. Go to a vet - very recommended
For more info, please see the link: https://reptile.guide/bearded-dragon-tail-rot/
T Ask yourself these questions:
Was the tail recently injured?
Was a part of the tail open (eg wound/scrape/cut)
Was flesh exposed?
Is the tail constantly dark? or does the darkness ever go away (eg when in the tank, different environments)
If you didn't answer yes to basically all of those questions, it's not tail rot.
Tail rot is extremely rare. It's an infection of the flesh, from a wound or injury to the tail.
Tail rot is really kind of just a fancy name for an infected wound, one of which is affecting the tail.ail Rot

Could he just be getting ready to shed? The "moving gray* sounds like shed getting ready to come off.

The end looks like it has a bent but I see no black- tail looks like it's going into shed- I don't think it's tail rot- keep an eye on the end it looks like it could fall off- watch for black that would be infection - if it starts w it getting black use the honey it will kill the infection
