DO NOT use ointment, it isn't necessary. I don't care what the vet said. If her humidity is correct, she'll shed just fine with no help.
Next, she does NOT need you to peel or pull or rub off her shed. It bothers you a lot more than it does her.
If you absolutely can't stand the shed being there, this is how you can help her. Take a clean pillowcase, dampen it with water, wring it out and tie her inside of it. Place the pillowcase with her inside on a controlled heat source so she doesn't get chilled. Give it about an hour, and I'll just about guarantee that shed will be off.
She cannot hurt herself by eating. That shed is just a layer of dead cells, and she can't "rip it off" in a bad way. Feed the poor thing! Take a deep breath, stop stressing out and stressing HER out, and realize this is no big deal.
