Be persistant. She will get used to the bath more and more over time. Just remember, try and avoid having the water running, and make it very hot. Baths in the mornings seem to go better.

You can put very warm water in a small deep dish and get a child's soft toothbrush. Hold her and dip the toothbrush in the water and gently "scrub" her little tail. Hopefully she may tolerate this better than the baths! Good Luck!
