Hi
I adopted my boy Wallice from a shelter a little over a month ago (btw hes a Flemish giant).At first he was a little nippy with me when I did something he didn't like, so I didn't get to really feel the fur around his back end before. He had some matted fur on his hind feet, but when I checked them, I was able to pull them right out, so no harm done.
No so for his bum! I got to feel around recently while grooming him, and near his tail and under it, the fur feels all matted and tangled. Apparently its sensitive, because when I tried to untangle it, he flinched and nipped at me.
What should I do? Will it just fall out on its own, or do I have to have someone trance his front end while I trim away his matted bum fur? Can I brush it out?
Any suggestions would be great!
