he may have problems getting the skin off his head and neck if it had problems the first time - if he can't get it off himslef you may want to use a warm wet washcloth and gently rub it off (front to back - it should peel off pretty easily). If he's head shy then you may need to restrain his head a little - be gentle - don't freak him out - if you don't get all of it off - that's ok it'll either fall off on it's own or come off in the next shed - just do the best you can without stressing him too much.
