Bonnie's 1 week transformation
Bonnie came into the rescue as a stray, she was completely matted and covered in dirt and brambles. Her matts were so tight they were pulling on her skin, she bit several people as they tried to touch her or try to put lead on or off her.
Her owners were contacted but wanted nothing to do with her!
First I needed to gain some trust from her before I even thought about sorting out her coat.
I spent some time with her getting her used to being touched getting her ready for her grooming. The matts were so tight they restricted her movement! It took two of us to groom Bonnie, one to hold her and keep her calm and one to work on cutting the matts out.
Once Bonnie was matt free she was much more comfortable moving about, she was able to run fast and even jump (which she previously couldn't). She also became much more happy about being picked up and handled to the point where she was actively came looking for a fuss.
