Hi Ashley, totally up to you but Hot Rod's leg was shaved way down and it took quite some time for it to catch up the rest of his hair. It really wasn't too bad, I just was shocked when I picked him--I hadn't even thought about them shaving his leg. I think it took a few months and about 3 hair cuts before I could start evening out his hair. Thankfully it was almost spring. As a matter of fact his surgery was on March 31st.
Good luck and I'll be sending good thoughts and prayers Somi's way.
