Evie is getting ready to have her 3rd shed (her first 2 went very well) but this time around she is having some issues. She has been rubbing her nose on everything and actually scratching her head with her back legs like a dog does. I have been giving her baths, but she just hasn't started to actually shed so I can't help the process along yet. But something has happened this time around different than the previous sheds. Her nostrials were covered with skin, and when I was giving her a bath I used a Qtip to put warm water around her mouth and nose. (the area around her mouth is the only part peeling away) When I was peeling away a piece of the skin (very carefully of course) it pulled the skin off from her nose and actually pulled skin out of her nose! The same thing happened on the other side too! Once it was gone I rubbed the side of her mouth and under her eyes and she went into a daze I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, or if it will happen every time she sheds now.....Here is a photo of the skin.
The two pieces that came out of her nose are on the outsides. The long skinny part was in her nose. (the middle piece was a normal piece) And I put the Qtip there to show size, and it is a little yellowish colored because I cleaned off her little squash face she got from dinner
