Matting

Princess Jess*

Hey :wave:

I'm a little concerned about my 11 week old mini lip who seems to have clumps of matted hair by her bottom. Is this normal at this age?

She's on excel junior. she eats lots and lots of hay and has a little bit of veg a day too. I noticed she had it the day after i brought her home. what shall i do? x
 
Are you seeing any excess caecotrophs? Is poo stuck there? I'd carefully clip it out and any fur around the anus, and clean it.
 
There isn;t any poo on her fur or by her bottom. Theres just random clumps of matted fur by her tail. I noticed tonight, she was a little but dirty down below, which I cleaned. I just wasn't sure whether these clumps were from where her fur was growing or not. What would have caused this? x
