Here's one for ya.....
Bea's like 15 ish lbs. Not so hot on the whole "groom myself" thing. Likes to groom me, though!
She does groom her "mane" & tail, but not really anywhere else.
Her coat was greasy/dandruff....so I gave her a bath. Wrong shampoo, so she got another bath a week later in Dawn. I then cornstarched her to try to remove the grease still in her coat, to no avail.
She's got dandruff, dry skin. High quality dry, & wet 1x a day. She's also getting (I think salmon) oil 1x a day.
Been combing her 1x a day with a finer toothed steel comb.....today I discover she's got mats!!! So, I try to work them out by combing at them.....the end result was her chomping on me! (I don't blame her)
On to her bum. I gave her a clip, she's still got clingons. She's got urine burns from her hair so long "back there". I haven't got a way to shave her myself. Just my trusty scissors.
Ideas?
I'm trying to avoid a full-on shave.....but it's not working. I'm contemplating taking her to the vet & having them shave her. Without sedating her, no more of that for awhile....she was just under 3 weeks ago for her re-declaw.
