Tail dropped

seboba17 Oct 04, 2005 01:13 PM

I had my first tail drop today, and I was really disapointed. It happened to a beautiful female with a gorgeous tail. Oh well, she's still incredible. Anyway, because this has never happened to me before, is there anything I need to do? Do I need to keep an eye on her stub? Or clean it? Or just leave her alone for awhile?

There really isn't anything that needs to be done, just keep an eye on it to make sure it heals well. A little neosporin can be added to the nub to be on the safe side.
