Thanks for reaching out about Harley and including photos. The toe appears to be non-viable tissue. The toe should be amputated to prevent further spread of infection found in dead tissue. Keeping the environment clean by removing sand, bark or other particulate substrates and replaced by soft towels to prevent further contamination. Removing feces and urates as soon as possible. Schedule a veterinary visit to help. Good luck.
