Filling out now that he has been treated and is feeding regularly.
I would describe him as having an incredible feeding response and a bit skittish but other than that he is pretty good (just has really sharp claws).
Hopefully the ointment will work on the tail and he'll only lose the last part of the tip of it.

Very nice Steve! Oh, just a tip, a dremel tool works great on monitor talons when he's bigger, but right now you could probably just "tip" em with a clipper. I can't get a good visual of how thick they are right now, but you can always just try one, and if it doesn't crush or crack then do the rest. If it does spilt at all or crush then use a dremel. Males life a whole lot easier with smoother nails! :cheers:

He looks really good. I hope he heals up just fine for you.
