the first one are 2 bite marks i think the second one looks like sooty mold and the third one is just the plant on a whole, sorry the pictures look so bad

Overall it everything looks ok to me. The black on picture 2 may be ok if it dose not spread. Just try not to let water sit on the canes. I would imagine that the plant fell off a shelf and broke one of the canes in the past and the small marks on the leaf may have happened at the same time.

where can you buy physan 20? like at home depot?

I have a specimen of the same hybrid and your plant looks fine. You should be able to get Physan at any reputable online orchid supply company.

I wouldn't worry about that either. Here's a picture of one of my first experimental dendrobiums. At the time I didn't know better and I chopped off the leafless canes to encourage new growth. That was a bad, bad mistake, but this is what the canes did after being cut. They look a lot like yours except my line is more brown than black. A broken cane will react the same way. If you ever accidentally break a cane just dab it with cinnamon and keep the area dry for a few days.
