Awful News


Molly today was shaved. She has problems with us grooming her and she will bite and scratch so we made the decision to take her to the vet were apparantly they started to comb it through but when they got the back end she hissed and bite so the decison was taken to go back to square 1 and clip it off. Molly was very good and brave and normally they have to sedate them but no, Molly was exceptional

I wasen't there but before in the past we've joked saying "she's bald" well this time I opened the basket and she shot out but I was crying, she looked so different but I now know it was for the best and she's much cooler now aswell . Her tail is very sensitive and the fur has been shaved a bit at the bottom and it seems to be irratating her what can I do to help please?

I will get a picture on here later,
Thanks, Haz.

Aww what a shame. The Vet must have thought it was for the best though. You'll get used to it and hair does grow! ((((((((())))))) hugs.

Poor Molly, but she will be more comfortable getting rid of the matts, the fur will soon grow, she is probably still recovering from the visit to the vets....

Poor Molly, I'm sure she is feeling much better without the matts ......... and you will be able to keep it under control once it starts growing back......

Re: Awful News


Thank You for your kind comments. Thank You very much for your very kind offer Mags but I think her fur will grow back pretty quickly like it did when she was spade and I wouldn't want you to go to all that trouble.
