Moulting

Sandy & Mia are moulting heavily I`m brushing them everyday but I feel I`m losing the battle.

Mia is a rex and its very difficult to back combe her fur as its so short and dense, so I`m carefully combing it using my other hand to open up the fur, is this correct or does anyother rex owner combe theirs????

Just want a bit of support that I`m doing the right thing with her, their such delicate little flowers :lol: :lol:

I use my fingers to gently pull the loose fur from moulting Rexes. Combing is impossible really. If you dampen your hands too that helps lift the fur. I then finish off with a stiff brush and by smoothing their coat with a dry soft cloth.

I dampen my hand and brushed my rexes with my hand quite stiffly, the hair stuck to my hand and the buns enjoyed the fuss lol. I also use a baby brush as my rexes always used to be complete wusses.
 
I just sit mine on my lap and stroke them til I sneeze!! :lol: Then brush off outside - I've never won the moulting war ..... :roll: :lol:
 
i just use a cat grooming brush to get the loose hairs out-Zelda gets mardy if i back brush her fur :lol:
you could get one of those fine metal grooming combs and try that.....it worked quite well until i lost it :lol:
