Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! I would recommend using a Q-tip to remove the bedding piece. I would recommend wetting the tip of it first as a dry Q-tip will cause some irritation. If it is too difficult to remove, you will likely need to bring him to a veterinarian to have him sedated to have the piece removed. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns
