How can I help her groom? - 09/22/08 03:22 AM
My Mishka is recovering from a really bad mating injury, and it looks like she probably will not be going back in with the male who did it. In addition to what is going to be a wide, inch-plus-long scar across her shoulders she's lacking the ends and claws of many of her toes. She's trying now to groom herself but having a really hard time of it, as she's missing her grooming claws on one side and missing a nail or two on the other back foot as well. It's mostly her right side feet that took damage, she only has a couple nails left total on that side.
Her fur is awful due to the past couple weeks of antibiotics and painkillers and quarantine and all, it's clumpy and greasy and gross. Is there some way I can help Mishka get her fur nice again (gently, because of the healing scar), and some way I can help her keep it nice in the future if she has trouble grooming?
(edit: said "left" instead of "right"... sorry, I'm pretty tired...)
