Changing fur
As some of you may know, we rescued Mei-Mei back in October. In January she began shedding heavily. This new fur was silky and very thick. Now her silky fur is changing to a more rough coat, but she doesn't appear to be shedding. Her fur is still shiny and healthy looking, but very rough and even more thick and dense than ever. Even when she is wet, it is hard to part her fur with a comb to see her skin. Okay...now my stupid question...is she okay?
Thanks in advance for all replies.

Just to make certain, wasn't Mei Mei quite young when you got her? She sounds like she blew her puppy fluff, and the regrowth (adult fur) was at first silky, but is now getting coarse (as it should be). If you have a digital camera, and can attach the photo to an email, I'd be happy to post a photo of it, if you wish. I am auddymay@hotmail.com
Auddymay, I was told by the vet when we rescued her that she was about three years old. He also stated that because her nutrition was not good (eating garbage and McDonald's throwaways can do that to you) for the time she was on her own, she could be much younger. I will e-mail you a pic for your review.
Thank you!
Thank you!
