Answer
Hello Torin,

Can you post a picture of that for me?
What has caused the tail rot, an injury or retained shed?  It can become fatal if there is an infection that goes systemic & is left untreated.
I would treat that with diluted betadine solution along with the neosporin ointment, daily to help that area.  
He will lose part of the tail that is or becomes necrotic yes, & it will not grow back.  I need to know the cause of the tail rot, & have you taken him to see a vet?
