I need some reassurance that my baby will look normal again soon. Its still pretty warm here in Texas, but I am hoping she will have some hair to protect against the colder months coming soon. Apparently I was not brushing Daisy enough or correctly because upon closer inspection I noticed she had several HUGE matts very near her skin and I tried the last couple of days to get them out. I tried combs, brushes, detanglers, cornstarch, etc. Daisy was trying to attack my brush and comb, which made de-matting near impossible. My kids seemed to think it was quite amusing.
The good news is that her leg hair and face hair was unaffected by the matts. Much of the hair on her back was completely fine, but the hair on her thighs, her sides and towards her bum was a hot mess. After much consideration (and many YT searches), I decided she needed to be shaved. I shaved her to about 1/4 inch. As you can see in the photo, all she has left on her back is the silver coat that had started to grow in. I left her leg hair alone. She looks so very weird (and skinny!) to me now, but I suppose it was necessary.
