Ok, for those of you who don't know, my Sydney is a special beardie...she has MBD and a broke back as well as 2-3 broke spots at the base of her tail...Can I help her when she is shedding? She is very lazy, that's just her, not a health issue. She has trouble moving around with her hind end. Right now, her back and stomach looks like she is 95 years old just sagging the dead skin. Not to mention, she poos in the water and she now stinks. I need to get the dead skin off. Is it safe for me to gently peel the skin off slowly? Obviously, I know not to pull when it is still fully attached. I usually help her with the skin under her neck folds and around her mouth to make sure she doesn't end up with dead skin reattaching and possibly causing problems. I do this after she finishes shedding. But it's been different this time. She's been trying to shed for over a week (skin has been hanging for that long) She's also been staying in her water dish all week. Even to sleep. Sorry about the grammer, my mind is rambling right now Thanks for any help!
