Our new baby seems to be having an issue with his tail. Eating great and active. Is it tail rot? Attached is a picture bringing him home and what it currently looks like.

It looks like maybe he got bit on the tail and it's scabbed over. You can apply a triple antibiotic ointment to keep it clean while it heals. A few sheds and it should be a little better. The rest of the tail looks flexible and ok from here. Is it?

Yes seems flexible I researched soaking in betadine mixed with water do you think that will help? It looks so thin in that area.

Update the vet says it is from an incomplete shed. Still may need to be amputated but praying for a full recovery.
