Title: Abigail's fur is really greasy since having her season.

Is this normal in Persians?  I know this will be down to her hormones as her fur was normal before but she's now finished her heat, and she still looks really greasy  :Crazy:

It can be Dawn, hormones have a lot to answer for LOL! hopefully it will settle down soon. I've just groomed a male persian whose coat is really greasy and I'm pretty sure its hormones in his case too!

May be it helps if you wash her, my friend use to wash my persian cat once a month and blowdry her, and persia loved it :Crazy:

Pav, I don't think Abigail would have appreciated a bath, she can be a little minx when doing anything she doesn't like.  Her fur went a lot better but she's now back in season again  :Crazy:  I'm going to get her booked in next week and she'll have to be done.  The vet nurse said normally they wait 2 or 3 weeks after their season has finished but in Abigail's case, I don't think this is going to work somehow  :sneaky:

I've had a chat with Sean about Abigail tonight and he said the best thing to do is get her in late next week and have her spayed.  It's not ideal as she's in heat at the moment but if I leave her any longer, she'll probably be in heat again  :tired:

Abigail has finally been spayed today  :yayyy:  :yayyy:  I know the news isn't that exciting but it means she can go to her new home next week  :)  I went to pick her up this evening and she was fast asleep in her litter tray with her tongue sticking out, I do love her mush when she does that  :Luv2:  :Luv2:  :Luv2:  :Luv2:
