I see a little bend in the tail but no black - it looks like it maybe going into shed - we can have ahbd look

It looks like there are some small crimped/damaged areas, but I don't see signs of infection. It looks like the tail may shed soon based on the coloring. As long as the crimped areas don't appear to expand/spread, I don't think this will be a problem. Keep an eye on it for changes but I think it is OK for now.
