Soon to be bald dog!
The other day we noticed that Bella had a patch of fur on her head that was all matted and gunky. I have no idea what it is or where it came from, but there's something sticky in the fur. We've tried washing it out with water, dog shampoo and combing it out and nothing has worked.
I phoned a mobile groomer for advice and they said the best thing to do is to shave it out. We don't know what it is and for all we know it could cause a reaction or skin irritation, so tomorrow she'll be getting a shave. Probably end up with a pretty big bald patch on her head. She's so beautiful normally, but she'll look a bit funny for ages until it grows back. Poor thing!
