As I suspected Bean's first shed with me was very bad. Many tears and rips. I followed the stickied post for bad sheds and was able to get almost all of it off. The only area left is the bottom half of his neck and underneath his jaw. I have tried soaking a second time, but it did not help and his breathing was accompanied with a high pitch whistling so I took him out since it seemed to be stressing him to much and causing breathing problems. The remaining shed seems to be stuck on there pretty well. Does anyone have any tips for getting this off? He's also nippy sometimes and headshy, so any ideas for getting underneath his jaw without him betting too defensive would be greatly appreciated.
