My one Mini Rex girl has digestive issues when she sheds. I wind up grooming her, syringing her extra water (flavored with Critical Care), giving her sub-Q's (as needed), and offering her various supplements. It's a long, stressful process for the both of us.
It seems that her fecals also start decreasing in size after she's been groomed, but I don't really have the option of letting her ingest all of her loose fur.
I've been using a Zoom Groom to brush her every few days and try to remove some fur using moistened hands once daily. (I used to groom her twice daily during her sheds, but that seemed to stress her a lot.)
I do have the Furminator but believe it to be too rough for a Mini Rex's delicate skin. I'm willing to hear any other grooming techniques/tricks that might be low-stress for an easily stressed bun.
Thank you,
Jenk
