I have two lionheads:
Alfie
& Tamzin
I'm having a problem with Tamzin's fur, she's around 3 years old and we've had her for two and she has never moulted as much as she is at the moment...i havent any pictures of whats happening but basically her fur started tuffting up and when groomed it came out in handfulls, it got worse and worse and left very very short black fur underneath, i little scurfy but not too bad. Took her to the vets last Thursday and he gave her an injection for mites and some shampoo :roll: we bathed her in warm water in the kitchen sick on Sunday and she totally freaked out. She's a rescue and is cuddley but nervous too we rubbed her dry and she tolerated the hairdryer briefly but we just put the heating on and she settle under the radiator....last night she stopped eatin, she had injested so much fur after bathing because she was licking herself constantly.....eventually we got her to eat and she's better this morning.
So I need advice, i am not confident in shampooing her again, it was too traumatic and if she's going to lick herself and injest fur whats the point?
Help?!!
