Shed stuck to tip of tail

[koloj]

Hi, I recently noticed some shed was stuck to the tip of one of my female's tail. I tried slowly brushing it off with a wet tissue but it is stuck on tight. Any advise? Thanks

Soak her elbow deep in Luke warm water for 15 minutes and then try to brush it off with a cotton swan.

Soaking usually works. I hope you get it all off. We had one that it got stuck on there without us knowing it and she ended up losing the tip of her tail. good luck

should i just put her in a tub with the water?

I use a gladware tupperware dish with enough water to cover the tail tip and then place the top onto the container (with air holes of course) 15min soak should do it!

sometimes useing a washcloth at the bottom for her to rub on helps the process too

The shed has to come off or you run the risk of constriction and losing the tail tip.

Great stuff. One of my guys had some skin stuck on his nose and was covering one eye. I gave it a day or two to see if it would come off on it's own. Tonight I found this thread and took some warm water and a q-tip to it and it all came off and my lil guy cam see out of both eyes again.
Yay.
