if the blood to the tip of the tails been restricted,the tip will be dead by friday...

it will then turn black and fall off mate

leaving a raw stump...

if its kept clean it will have no lasting damage,other than a stumpy tail

my advice would be to burst the shed with your nail from head to tail direction right away...!!

imo,moss or damp clothes will do nothing for a small ring of retained tail tip shed



cheers shaun

P.S. Can you post a picture of the tail tip ?
