lovely little lily

DSCN2067B Lily 210314 cropped+(c)This little lass has been with her new mum and dad in Horwich, Bolton, Greater Manchester for about 1 year.  She is so well loved in her new home.

DSCN2065B Lily 210314 cropped+(c)She is called Lily, and is a Persian Chinchilla.  Lily is a little nervous of new people, but soon came around and had a sniff – of us, and the grooming equipment !

We’d been called in as Lily had developed quite severe pelting around her lower body – on her sides, chest, tummy, flanks, legs and rear end.  The top of her coat was lovely, and in good condition.

The original plan was a full clip, but after removing the pelt we changed track and decided to leave her with the remaining hair to save some of her dignity !  Whilst the new hair is growing back, mum will be able to get her used to being combed in those underside regions without any tugging of the comb.

In keeping with a typical Chinchilla’s personality, Lily was very fidgety.  However, it is fair to say that it was a tough session for her as the pelt was extremely tight to the skin and some of the skin was sore, where it had been pulled/dragged for some time as the mats tightened to her body.

As the pelt came away the relief was obvious as, for example, Lily realised she could now stretch that arm right out again (whereas previously this had been impossible due to the mats).  After the session we sat and watched Lily as she set about an in depth self grooming session – washing those parts of her body that she hadn’t been able to reach for some time (including her bum !).  She then was all smiles as we did the photo shoot !

So pleased to see you looking so happy with your new body, Lily.  Well done sweety ….
