Broken whisker?

I was just checking out my synodontis eurupterus and noticed one of his whiskers is broken and just hanging there. What should I do?

Feed him, give him a pat, sing to him and assure him that it will all be ok. Then go watch tv or something, he'll be fine. Just keep an eye on it for a few days in case it gets an infection.

At the point where it broke it's white, is that an infection?

 

[TwoHedWlf]

probably not if it's recent. Just a bit of damaged tissue.

Ok, I'll keep an eye on him.

Just keep an eye on him, damaged whiskers happen all the time and usually aren't life threatening

The whiskers are bendy so how do they get broken all the time?

No idea, maybe there a point where it's bent to much?

The place where it broke is right up against his face almost.

Maybe someone bit on it?
