such a gent
15 year old Garfield in Liverpool needed some help with his coat as, although it is short it had become significantly matted.
It was a difficult session for Garfield. He’s a lovely, friendly boy but his mats were tight and were particularly around his sides and flanks. We noticed that Garfield became hot (panting) very quickly at the start of the Session, he was extra fidgety and his heart beat was noticeably fast. Along with a tremendous appetite without weight gain and an unkempt coat, we decided after the Session that it would be as well just to get him an appointment to be checked out by the doc – as these can all be symptoms of thyroid problems. It turned out that Garfield does have an overactive thyroid (which is fairly common in elderly cats), and is now on medi to help stabilise it.
A few weeks after the Session, mum Chrstine got in touch to say
“Sandra, as you can see Garfield is looking and feeling so much better all thanks to you. Your patience and understanding of my elderly and sickly cat probably extended his life. I would have no hesitation to recommend your services to anyone THANK YOU xx”
So pleased to hear this news, Christine – and to see that your coat is growing back a treat, Garfield ! 🙂
