I let my chinnies out to play today around the office, but one of them, Gus Gus, knocked over a cement tile and I think it fell on his tail unfortunately. There's blood/bleeding on either side of the tail. This is closer to the tip, probably about 3 inches from the tip.
I tried to lessen the bleeding with a napkin, and then dabbed it with a chlorhexidine/water solution to disinfect, and then tried to apply some neosporin type antibiotic to the wound.
Is there any way I can check to make sure it's not broken? He is still able to curl/straighten his tail it appears. Is there anything else I can do to help? I'll keep an eye on him and his wound to make sure it doesn't get infected/worse. This is the first time one of my chinchillas has gotten a real wound. I hope he gets well soon!
