New Tegu Mom/Tail rot?

Hello everyone,
I am a new tegu mom to 8 month old Lucy. We live in rural Alberta Canada and it can be extremely cold. We have been having difficulties with her enclosure. The heat pad below her and the humidity/temp control blew out. We did have the enclosure custom made however after we paid them, they closed their business. To be solution focused, I am ordering new everything. However while we have been waiting I noticed my girl's tail looks like it is dead dry. I just read about the various remedies suggested. Is this a " go to the vet now!" or should I try fish oils, coconut oil rubs etc first?
Additionally what would you recommend to help keep the temp up until the new heat pads, arrive? Any suggestion would be welcome. Love her madly and I am worried she is not doing well.
Thank you,
Lucy's Mom
