Cat needs butt shaved I think
I just love a good attention grabbing subject. But it is a
semi-serious situation. I haven't had any problems with any of my cats needing anything more than an occasional brushing. Even my longhair Nipsy hardly sheds and barely needs to be brushed. But sick little Jackie (IBD with chronic diarrhea) has developed clumpy areas on just one side of her butt. A closer examination (I must love her very much) reveals that the hair is matted and cannot be combed out. So I tried cutting some of them away and accidently cut a bit of her skin. I simply can't tell where the hair leaves off and the skin begins. I called the vet but the normal three vet practice is down to one vet because of the holidays and this is hardly an emergency. They gave me the name of a pet grooming place (some stuffy sounding place that must mangle poodles) that will do it, undoubtedly for some insane fee. She'll likely come back in curlers. They haven't even returned my call from yesterday. Do folks just get an electric clipper and shave that part off? She is not going to sit still for this I can reasonably assume. |
