Potential Tail Rot

[LMacDonald]

Hello all! I have a bearded dragon that is about 7 months old. I have just recently noticed that her tail isn’t colored at the end. I looked up what tail rot was and saw a picture that looked like her tail and I am currently very worried about her health. Could you tell me if it is tail rot and how to treat it I am very worried as the only vet in town is VERY expensive. Tia (my bearded dragon) is my first bearded dragon and I love her sooo very much!

From the pic posted it looks like shed BUT you need to post a more clear pic of the end please -- if there is any nips or injuries to the tail sometimes the ends do die off and you can use a home remedy but first lets see what is going on w/ the tail --

Here is a picture that’s in a little more focus I hope that helps! Also, Tia’s tail has a curve tat the very end I don’t know if that means anything. Thank you!

I got Tia from a breeder that kept several bearded dragons in the same cage. I don't know if that helps either.
