| Post partum and grooming?? Gia had her litter on Wed...WHen I came home today..the room with her and her babies just stunk to high heaven and I picked her up to brush her and OMG she was the smell..she had a HUGE chunk of stool all stuck in her hair it was gross and nasty. I put her in the tub got it alll off and clean the tub and put her back in for a bath. She was embarrassed and upset I could tell. Anxious to get back to babies..she woudn't let me dry her completely and it was not fun. She had some matts around her bottom and her tummy which she doesn't usually have and I couldn't work with them much she was in such a hurry to get back to her babies. what I use on her to help with the matts?? This is new..the matts..maybe because she has been laying so much?? Any help please is appreciated??

| When my baby has her babies I make sure to get her a mommy cut prior to the whelping. We have her belly & rear end shaved, much cleaner for her and the babies. As for the mats you may have to cut them in half in order to brush them out, or you may have to cut them out all together. Her hair will grow back, I know that most of us on here hate to cute their beautiful hair! Most of the other options I can think of to rid her of her mats wouldn't be good for her babies! Good luck, hope this helps you some! You may also want to post this in the breeders forum, some on there may know a few tricks on how to get rid of the mats without cutting her hair!
