My little foster Poppy is a fluff ball, well she is a lion lop but has long very thick areas of fur around her bum and on her dewlap.
She came into rescue in a bit of a state and whilst I've got her bum to stay clean now
and groom her regularly I'm having a few problems.
In these thick long area of fluff it almost seems like the fur very close to the skin is matted and when I start brushing I can easily get a pile of fur out almost as big as she is :shock: but she hates it, fairly understandably!!!
I'm not being harsh or heavy handed with the grooming and I use a bunny comb and slicker brush but because of where the problem area are its very hard to get to them and I have to manhandle her a bit just to get to them trancing her would make it easier but obviously I don't want to do that... It's not even like if I did trance her it would be a five minute job and then that would be that, it seems never ending!!!!!
How do you guys keep your long fluffed buns ok? Is it normal for her to have area that just seem prone to tangles?
