Even if he was born bald, it would not guarantee you against allergies because that problem comes from the skin, not the coat. Even those hairless cats can and do trigger allergies. My husband is deathly allergic to cats, and even when we had a Sphinx in the house, my husband suffered.
The coat in all dogs even if long, protect them from heat and cold. I wouldn't have shaved him. I saw a product on the market that you can rub into them then brush and it cuts down on the fine particles that come from the skin. You may have to just use a cat mitt to rub him down each day now until his coat grows back. Maybe even have someonw else do the brushing for you. |
