Hi all. Since Toby's last shed he had retained shed on the end of tip of his tail (this is normal for him). However, I did what I normally do, give him a bath for litterally 5 mins and everything's all good. But this time I did this, and when letting him crawl through my hands some of the shed has come off (the retained shed it only 1-1.5 cm) but some of it has stayed. The bit that's come off has left a cut :((( what shall I do.?! I panicking and feel guilty as usual. Any help would be appreciated, meg xxx
