occasions I had to use a muzzle. I cut the matts out gradually, so I didn't cause too much pain or cut the skin. I did this over several days to cause the least amount of stress. After I got most of the matts cut out, I was able to eventually use a clipper to shave the pups down.
The way I did it was very time consuming, but I wanted to avoid sedation If at all possible.
Good luck in helping this pup & his owner! Please let this us know how it goes. |
oh, and had meant to say before... thanks very much! i'll certainly give this a go!!!!
