Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone here has had to shave their ferals. We've got some long-haired ferals, and they're pretty good about keeping their coats clean. However, with the rain / snow / dirt, etc..., this year we've had some problems with large areas of matted hair. They're losing their hair with the Spring, but the matting has become bad enough for one that she's going to need to be trapped and shaved.
I'm sure one of our vets will be willing to do the job with a general check up, shots, etc...
Anyone do this as a regular or semi-regular process?
Interested to hear other experiences...
We'd like to do this now while it's still warm, but they have time to grow their hair back for the fall & winter.
