Problem Shed - BP

GreyPlague May 02, 2004 11:53 PM

Hey,

A few days ago my BP shed everything in one piece except her head, including lens caps. The old skin seems pretty stuck on there. I've already tried to soak her, 2 times each at 15 mins, but it doesn't seem to help plus she doesn't always like keeping her head in the water. This is only the second shed i've had her for because she is new to me. Her first shed was in pieces but all came off eventually except for a small patch which still remains on top of what is there now. I really want to find something that I can do for her and I am especially concerned about her eyes. She's a bit head shy so if anyone can recommend anything to me it would be greatly appreciated. You can even message me 24hrs a day on AOL IM: GordonK3

There is a breeder nearby I want to try to take her to tomorrow because I dont have a ton of money to throw at a vet, but if all else fails, to the vet we go.

Thanks,
Gordon

Hey all,

Nevermind about that, I took her to a breeder and he and his wife got the old shed off.
