Shedding problem

MMommy2mygirls Sep 01, 2003 08:53 AM

My one uro Clark is having some difficultly in shedding the skin on his back. A while back, he was really sick with a piece of food lodged in his intestine. I had to force feed him for months. Since then, he is doing much better, however, the skin on his back has become very hardened. I have tried soaking him often to loosen it but its not helping a bit.

any ideas as to how I can get this hardened skin off his back? His head, legs, etc have all shed easily. Just on his back it actually looks like it is cracking (which makes me think it has to be painful )
Any ideas???
thanks!
Renee

its good your soaking him in water, turn it to really hot so it can soak better. you need to peal it. if you cant take it to the vet they will help. it might be to let. keep in touch later
