I’m really struggling to stay on top of Angus’ hair. He’s an angora cross dwarf lop so fortunately not as bad as a full angora but his hair is still growing like mad. I use beard clippers on him (the sound doesn’t bother him and he sits very still) and I brush him every day with a slicker brush and a tangle teezer, but I keep finding matts on him and some of them get quite bad I bought some grooming scissors and I try and cut the matts out with them but I’m so worried about catching his skin and I have done in the past so I never get all of the matts out fully.
I’ve tried asking all local dog/cat groomers, no one will do him. I spoke to a local rabbit boarder and she doesn’t know if anyone either. The vet said they’d do it but only under sedation and I really don’t want him to be sedated, he’s so good I really don’t think it’s necessary. I know it’s not ideal but today I put conditioner on him and brushed through to try and get all the knots out but there’s still some there. Can anyone suggest anything else? I’m really letting him down at the moment
