4 yr old beardie has very swollen tail

[DeanaLawler]

Bob is very playful. He loves to run laps, jump, etc. Yesterday he fell while playing and this morning I noticed a very swollen part of his tail. He had tail rot when we adopted him as a baby but no other health issues in four years. He eats well. He also has a wonderful personality. None of that seems effected (except he didn't like his picture taken so early this morning). Anyone have any ideas? Did he break his tail?

We finally got in to see the doctor today. They think he hit it and created an abscess or hematoma. They drained it, gave antibiotics and pain meds. We are very relieved!

Yes Thank you! We will post our "well"pic soon

I attached vet picture. Our vet is excellent so he chilled patiently and calmly. When she drained the area he held still. We are just so relieved. He got a healthy check up otherwise.
