    Shed

    My girl retained a bit of skin in her vent. I noticed and promptly removed it with a pair of medical tweezers. Should she be fine? Will this impact digestion?

    She should be just fine.

    Usually it helps to moisten the area, or soak the animal a bit to aid in the removal. Check the area during the next shed to make sure there isn't a buildup, which is pretty unlikely.

    Thanks. I thought she should be good.
    She is quite lively. Grabbed my empty coffee mug this morning.
