Help with dead skin!

[jirish617]

hey all, so I need your help! Lenny a few months back the vet diagnosed him with a pseudo-anyeurism. So he has major swelling and "bruising" on the left side of his head. Well around the same time he decided to start shedding. Well he has some dead skin still on part of his beard, but mostly on the side of his head. How do you recommend me removing it, it has been there far too long. I put him in bathes daily, and usually water was the solution, but it isnt working now. He won't let me touch that part of his head with out him shaking it and then trying to scratch it. Any suggestions?

okay, bathe him again so the skin becomes wet, then get a toothebrush and lightly scrape back and forth along his head towards his nose and back. its worked with my dragon, it can work with yours too let me know how it goes if you choose to do it

Do beardies usually get cranky when doing a big shed? I was wondering since my guy was running away from me yesterday and this morning I saw huge pieces of shed on both legs.

Lenny wouldnt let me do that if i tried. Due to his aneurysm that part of his head is touch sensitive.
