Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Shaving a husky Sat May 04, 2013 8:28 pm | |
| Hello all,
First post here. I have a 1 year old husky, Maya, that I just took to the ER vet tonight after watching her basically mutilate her tail all day until it bled. They ended up shaving her WHOLE TAIL and there are wounds and scabs all over it. She was diagnosed with moist dermatitis. I am just glad none of the wounds are infected and no tail amputation had to occur. However, I am worried her tail will never look the same...I hear once you shave a husky their guard hairs never fully grow back. She had a beautiful red stripe down her tail that was like her signature and I want it to grow back so badly. Do you guys have any information on coat growth? |

| keep her well brushed because the undercoat will grow faster than the top coat and will get matted more easily. Make sure you do a down to the skin brushing and use an undercoat rake to get out all the loose undercoat as it grows back. Until she has enough coat to use the rake, you should use rubber mit, then when her coat grows a bit you can use a slicker brush (one of those T shaped, metal bristle brushes), then the rake. It will probably be 6 months to a year before her coat is 100% back to normal, but it should be long enough to protect her in 6-8 weeks |

| Thanks you so much! That is very helpful. I will have to go pick up a rubber mitt but I have the other 2 brushes. She is doing very well now, still getting used to the "cone of shame" but she is comfy in the bed tonight while I sleep on the couch |

| If you have two other brushes iam sure the need to get a rubber mit isn't truly needed just make sure your getting all the loose hairs out if you find you can't then get the mit. and LOL very cute my puppy wont sleep in my bed lol |

| I would suggest adding salmon oil or coconut oil to her food everyday it will help the coat. |
