Guest guest Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Ive considered the shaving of a lab/german shepard and am not so sure about how that would go down.. she was fumerated today which took alot of hair out from the coat and washed with an antifungal.. I hope that is enough. Possibly a GSE spray on her coat would be helpful as well??? Im also wondering about building her an outdoor environment. ?? We are temporarily relocating to AL where it can get very humid and hot so I am not sure what that does to the molds on the animals (does it cause them to grow) or how they will tolerate the heat unless we have an AC in the " barn " .. Robin > > First, I want to say that I'm so sorry about your cat. That's really heartbreaking. Mine was diagnosed with allergic asthma, and it is breaking my heart to know that the mold is affecting her. Second, I want to say that I would never leave my cat behind, any more than I would my husband, and I think that doing so would be an act of hysteria and not of logic or rationality. How would my cat be any more of a potential contaminant than my husband? She gets washed and cleaned, just as he washes and cleans himself. If she is carrying fungus, then he is. There's nothing that makes my cat somehow more fungus-attracting then my husband--both have skin, both have hair (or fur). Why would you shave your dog and not require that every one of the humans have to be shaved all over? I think it's magical thinking (and speciesist) to assume that a pet can be a danger where a human cannot. And I think its cruel to consider a pet to be disposable. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
