My Emmy is almost 3 years old. She has long silky silver fur and has never matted. About a month ago I was sick for a week and could not brush the girls. Emmy was wearing clothes. When I took her clothes off she was a total mess. I bathed her and she puffed up worse than I could imagine. I tried conditioner, detangler, etc. but she was miserable. I called our vet. The vet could not believe she looked so matted. "In all the time I have been grooming Emmy I have never seen her with a mat. Now you bring her in filled with mattes." I was so embarrassed. So was Emmy. She was in pain being brushed and combed out. We went ahead and had her shaved down but the groomer left her hair as long as she could. She looks sorta bad now because she is so skinny. Her fur is growing so we are waiting for the day when it is back to normal.
