[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 155796, member: 29302"] Is there anyway you could get a closer photo of the injury? I suspect the drop is formed from haemoglyph (the T's blood) and substrate has become stuck to the leak, forming that teardrop shape. As long as it's not still leaking, it should be ok, as [USER=3458]@Enn49[/USER] says, it may drop the leg, but it will regrow at the next moult. If it is still leaking fluid and you are noticing drips or droplets, then use a cotton bud to lightly tap cornstarch (like the stuff you buy in the flour/baking aisle) over the leak. This will help seal it and stop the bleed. Having said that, from your photo I don't think it's still leaking. Just ensure your T has plenty of fresh water, as it will need to replace the lost fluid.
