I know this is going to sound soooooo stupid, but you know me ill ask anyway  😛  ;D

If you shave a humans hair, ‘most’ of the time it grows back quite quick and thicker than it was, does that go for dogs aswell??  :-\

Not that anyone would want to walk around with a naked dog or would do it, im just asking out of being curious!

we have lots of ‘thin’ westie coats round here – crap breeder – some of them are so thin you can see the skin through them  🙁

[merrow]

ahhh well he isnt very old but old enough  i tought it was due to bad breeding but woded if there was any thing to be done for helping it grow slightly thicker,

what is auto immune mean?

Forgot to add, while brushing milly, she had cute a few balls of furr, not attatched to her but in her coat, they were like little knots (but as said not attatched to coat) she is grooomed every night, will these be bits of her puppy furr falling out or is this her coat changing cos of the season change?? (annoying little things they are)

[Anonymous]

Hun does she scratch a lot? honey when shes itching her ears gets these – they little knots where shes scratched and pulled the hair out  ::) least i think thats what your on about!!  :-* honey been scratching her ears a bit and she has had a few over the last few days!
Bless Milly she dont look to bad – you need to get her a hairband!  ;D

[toppy]

haha i need to do something, after she has been playing all her coat on her head is in her eyes, her head hair is sooooo heavy and thick!!  ::)  😀

yea alot of the little dis-attatched knots were around her ears and some at the sides of her body (where she scratches) and the base of her tail has gone soooooo thin through her biting it!  :-\

[Anonymous]

Awww hun – that is exactly where honey scratches – though not so much the base of her tail. When are you moving milly on to raw?? When did she last have her anal glands done??
