coat changes after castration.
« on: June 10, 2011, 02:38:37 PM »
I have been warned that pepper's coat will change a lot now he has been castrated. Is there anything I can do to try and keep it as nice as possible?

Taz was castrated 3 years ago, and i cannot say i have noticed any difference in his coat.  I try and keep on top of his top half, but his legs have always been really fluffy.  Having a trim tonight.

I would avoid shaving him though as that definately does make it worse

Thanks...that is encouraging....I don't want to have Pepper shaved so maybe I will have to do some of it myself in the future(!)

Saartje is spayed a year ago and I can't handstrip her back anymore, the hair is stuck! I still can handstripe her head. To get a nice short and smooth back I use a coatking. Her feathers are beautiful as ever.

My boy was castrated just over a year ago, not a great change in coat, not quite as sleek, but no probs. My last cocker was female and her coat turned curly within months.

Ollie was 'done' in Nov just gone and his coat is no different yet!
