ok now to my problem , my little girl piff started a shed on her face,that came off just fine. then her tail started and the last 2 inches of it shed off but the rest of it, probably like 6 inches has not come off and has been completely gray for a little over 2 weeks now. i have been giving baths everyday for even longer than usual and also invested in a supposed shed aiding spray, it hasnt seemed to help.
all i really want to know is if i should be worried or if it is just a slow shed cause she is growing so fast so her scales need to get much bigger than the last set so its taking longer.
