well, her copat is thin and silky. her butt/back legs are matted. her whole body was matted pretty much, right next to the skin too.. when i first got her. ive been working with it but its a ton of work.. and im so gentle with her.. i think ive done at least a good 8 or 9 hours just trying to get the mats out. i usually give her a bath twice a week or so and brush her all the time.. shaving her would be one easy option of getting rid of the mats. im sure it will take a LONG time to get the rest of the mats out. they've only gotten worse since theyve been there so long. If i decide to work out the mats ill be doing it myself cuz i dont trust the groomers around here to be gentle enough with her.
she does great while grooming and usually falls asleep, the blow dryer freaks her out a little stilll but she gets better each time.
another thing.. the hair on the top of her head is now a light grey with just black tips. it used to be all black.. what does this indicate for her coat as an adult? |
