Lily was spayed last November and the fur where she she shaven to be spayed had never properly grown back. It has grown back along the incision. About a 1cm wide strip! Then there are bits around the edge of the shaven area that have grown back a bit and others that have only recently started to grow back and then most of the area just has a very fine very sort covering of hair. You can see her skin is nice and healthy and pink with not dryness or redness.
The vet said it was odd but that spaying can affect a hormone that is involved in hair growth. They concluded the same as me that the skin was healthy and she can't be barbering it herself as she hasn't the teeth to do it (see other thread about broken incisors). Its too short for her to be doing it herself anyway. The hair is really almost non existant.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
Thank you,
Clare and Lily xx
