Maxey quit using her tail. The end of it is a different color and she just let's it hang. Here's a pic please tell me what you think is wrong.

Yes she has a laying him she been using it for the last two years but she seems hesitant now. She did sleep in it all night last night but didn't dig. There are no links in her tail and it's warm to touch the same as the rest of her I will try for a better picture.

It started at the tip I showed the vet she didn't seem concerned maybe I need a new vet any ideas I live in Arlington Texas
 
If the tip is necrotic it could be a fungal infection but I've never seen one make the tail change color that far up in that manner.
If the tail was injured at the place the color changes it could be from that injury or has the color slowly been moving up the tail?
 
You might try digging a few starter holes for her to lay her eggs / are they fertile
The tail issue may have her a little confused
Good luck

It was just the tip for along time the vet wasn't concerned. But she also, the reason for the vet visit was her nails were gone. She said give her vitamins with lots of vitamin A so I got some and started giving them to her twice a week. Her nails have grown back but now the tail isn't working and it's discolored. Maybe I should take her back to the vet. But the vet is so young I was concerned about her knowledge. I live in Arlington Tx if anyone has a vet recommendation
