This is the first time she has had a stuck shed so there aren't several layers. I didn't know that it would be okay leaving it or not. Also would this make her go off her food? She is a great eater and has never skipped a meal but she has skipped her last two since the shedding process began. I have only had her for about 6mos and this, is the first time she has done this. Am I just being an overly worried mommy for something that is normal?
