all owners of lionheads, angoras or any other ridiculously fluffy buns, i need your advice! how do u stop fluff getting in ur buns eyes?!!
my poor mr dusty (a double maned lionhead - i assume - either that or hes half chinchilla!) is a victim of his own fluff!!! :lol: every year his winter mane gets bigger and bigger, u can barely see his ears now thru the fuzz!!!!!!
i brought him in the yesterday and totally panicked cos his left eye looked so awful, it was screwed up shut from swelling nd weeping white gunk everywhere. after having a small heart attack i looked in his eye and found something in there, so i pulled nd an enormous clump of fluff, hay and white gunk came out from underneath his eye. I washed it out with contact lens solution and within half an hour the eye was fine again so i cancelled the appointment i had just made at the vets for that afternoon.
i kno it was easily fixed but its got me rattled! it just looked so sore, and if i hadnt got it out quick it cud easily hav got infected. So im wonderin if anyone has any advice on how i can avoid it happening again? I already trim the fur around his mouth with curved scissors cos it gets stuck in his mouth nd goes all nasty, but i rlly dont want to trim the fur around his eyes - what if he moves???? :shock: :shock: :shock:
so yes, any advice wud be much appreciated!
thanks in advance,
