After seeing the post about flystrike and what the eggs look like I'm going to have to inspect Dizzi very carefully as she has white fur on her bum ....... and I'm paranoid!!
She really dislikes being picked up so I'm trying to find the quickest, eastiest and least stressful way of properly checking her bum so that she doesn't get too freaked.
The vet nurse suggested cradling her like a baby (on her back in the crook of my arm, paws up) and although this is a really good position to get a good look .... I believe it stresses them out.
With Rascal I can probably do it whilst he's led down flopping as his fur's orange but with Dizzi's being white I really do need a proper look.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
