Thread: rescue mc, vet, groomer or home for mats?

Hi
My Fred is a total cotton coat and knots so easily. I use a special knot cutter, looks a bit like a hook with a blade. You have to be so careful when you cut knots out as their skin isnt like ours and if you catch them its a vet visit!

Because he was so bad between his back legs and never let me go there, I got the vet to shave him when he had a recent anaesthetic for something else.

You can get all sorts of detangle lotions but if its that bad I would get the vet to deal or go see the vets nurses who are trained in this and they may be able to get it out for you without putting him under.

I try and comb Fred every day and we are making it a routine, I get a towel out, put it on the table and put him on the towel, he is getting better, but if yours is a rescue he may never have been groomed properly and you will need to get him used to it.

I have bathed mine as well, 2 pairs of hands are firmly needed but it helps.

Well done you for taking in a rescue, he will love you forever for it!!!
