| You don't have to shave it. Just add a little Mineral oil or Neutrgenia Bath oil with water to that area. No problem. You will need to redo this about every 3-5 days. MAke sure you also do not change her food to avoid soft stool. T. |

| very carefully with a pair of scissors just trim that area around the hole to maybe a centimeter long so you don't accidentaly cut the skin. I just use my judgement..like trim whatever hair you think will get messy. |

| I trim my furbaby with a pair of scissors. it's a judgement call and it's easier if you have help. My husband holds her and i cut. Good luck |

| I too use scissors. For me, its just a good guess in trimming. Like if it can make it there and get tangled...I trim so it can't. |

| Trimming that area with small safety scissors (blunt-end) is a good idea. If you trimmed about an inch all around the anus, it should prevent the mess.
