most importantly you have to keep everything in his terrarium CLEAN in order to avoid infections. you can dab some neosporin with a Q-Tip on the end of his tail too. it'll heal in a couple days and about 2 weeks his tail should be grown back... the thing is, it won't look the same as before... it'll be more rounded and not as pretty as is used to be 
someone on this forum has one with a dropped tail and it's on his website... i think it's Nick?
good luck with your leo!

Ow, wow, poor leo. Do you have any idea as to why that may have happened? How's the humidity? Is the leo mostly healthy?
