matt16 Oct 26, 2003 06:52 PM

hey my male jax shed its head again. and the other part never came off and now it shed the same spot and it still wont come off. i tried to take it off withtreasers but it wouldnt budge and its been about two weeks. is there anyway to get it off, other than spaying it or put it in the shower.

Try rubbing mineral oil on it twice a day with a q-tip (be gentle). It should loosen it up and help get it off.

I'm not sure
you could try it, and if it doesn't work use the oil.

you can also use polysporin or some other over-the-counter thing like that.
