I know what shedding looks like, but in Frank, his skin on the mouth just started falling off like it was rotten, ( He was in a serious state of MBD) , and then his toenails just came off, he seems to be putting on weight and eating well, and the other nails haven't come off, and his nose is healing up, ( the nostrils are still gone) But I just was thinking that maybe the muscled had atrophed and the skin was dead and after he started getting good food into him, the dead skin just fell off as the new areas were growing in. He looks strange but he feels happy and eats everything in his dish plus more.
: sounds like you've got things under control with all the kids.Great!!!
: Now is this sloughing off or shed?or could it be scabs?If he's growing and doing well,he'll shed more often,,our girl Cirsis sheds on her head almost 24/7 it seems.Our Go has his upper lip somewhat scarred and his lips don't meet,but he does just wonderful and it does add some character to his sweet face.He had MBD when we got him.
: Just keep your eye on his nose and let us know please.
