Re: shedding concerns

you NEED to burst the retained shed length wise,from tail tip to head with your finger nail,or a pair of tweezers,one the old sheds off,this will allow blood to circulate,to the tissue thats still living

any necrotic tissue will scab up,the tip of the tail may even drop off

you just need to keep the raw flesh clean,and dab a dilluted iodine solution on it twice daily,to prevent infection

a trip to the vets will tell you how much damage is done

cheers shaun
