Stuck shed in nostril?

Just finished giving her a bit of carnivore care (the yellow at the tip of her nose and mouth), and noticed that her nostrils aren’t that visible at all. Is it stuck shed? Should I try to get it off?

and yes, I’m aware of the mouth rot and I believe she has a respiratory infection. I’m doing as much as I can but,, today she’s looking even weaker. She’s been on antibiotics since Wednesday.

Spray him w/ some warm water take a soft baby toothbrush and lightly brush him-- the water will loosen the shed-- do not pick at it - it will eventually come out and come off

I personally help with shedding around the eyes, nose, tail tips and toes, sometimes it doesn’t come out by itself. Never pull, always a prying motion, if it doesn’t budge its not ready…
