i personaly dont think theres anything wrong with that tail... it could be a little red from her rubbing her tail to get the shed off..

It's a little more red in person than the picture displays :( Would I be able to tell if there's unshed skin?

Just worried about blood vessels getting constricted if there's any leftover stuff.
