I recently found out that Maya is older then i was first told. After i found out how bad maya tear duct problem was i kinda guessed she would have fibbed.
I was told he was under a year old, and i have een owned by him since November 2005. And now i have been told he might have been as old as 3 years old, by a member of her staff. Obviously, i am not impressed but i'll never let him back there.

So here is why i am worried...along with the tear duct problem Maya has, he also has had the longest moults ever. He still grooms himself, with a little help from me, but his coat looks really dull.

Is there any kinda supplement that i could give Maya to help?

I think you can get a pineapple supplement to help moulting? :? Hopefully someone else will know.

Mad bunster gives her buns pinapple tabs for their moulting, it is just one a day.

Is there any dandruff? Mo has quite a dull coat and it looks like he has mites...he has fur coming out all the time.

nope, no dandruff. i had maya checked for mites at the vets, as he had them when he first arrived here.

Hello
I give my long haired bun and her partner the Holland & Barrets Pineapple Enzyme tablets. (They're called Bromelyn Tablets). Its reputed to help them digest/ pass the fur in their systems, but doesn't actually help with the fur falling out.

Only thing to help the moulting is to keep on top of the grooming (much to the buns annoyance!)

maya doesnt actually mind being groomed, and is groomed every day as part of a routine to clean around his eyes (he has tear duct problems).

its not so much the grooming o am worried about more the dullness of his coat :shock:

Hmm, well I'm not too sure about the dullness :? but I know my little Nibbles' fur is dull when he moults (and he moults in lumps) so I suppose it could be just the fur dies off as is getting ready to fall out?
