A week back my rat had an incident when he got his tail stuck under something and he lost a part of his tail's ending (not that much, pic related). I read that's a normal defensive mechanism. I've been curing him with medicine trying to make it better, clean up his cage to prevent infection and so on. From what I've read, in severe cases, it's either the rat drops off the exposed bone or it needs to be amputated.

Please reply, I'm worried about him a lot.

Seems pretty shallow but could use amputation if the bone is exposed, so you should go to the vet. Would you go to the doctor if you could see the bone of your finger after it got cut off?

Had one rat accidentally deglove the tip of his tail. That part just dried up and fell off in a few days.
It'll probably fall off soon but you can always have a vet remove it.
