Well

During my normal grooming of luna my persian last night i found a massive matt! I feel so embarrassed as it must have been there for ages, but i never noticed it before. She gets groomed and combed every night and bathed once a fortnight. Its right under her armpitt and really felted down to the skin! I dont know how i have missed that developing, and feel like a very bad mum!

Anyway she is off to the groomers for the first time on monday. They are very good at getting matts out, and can also clip it if needed. I phoned the vets but they wanted to knock her out to do it. She is used to being groomed, and i use the clippers myself around her bottom to help keep it clean, and i use thinning shears to shorten the hair on her trousers as she is a mucky bugger and regulary gets poop stuck. I just dont feel confident going at such a big matt in the position its in. It must be pulling her skin and she doesnt enjoy her legs or tummy being done anyway. So i'm leaving it to the professionals!

Fingers crossed all goes smoothly!
