Itchy shaving rash on tummy?
poor Tilly is so itchy on her tummy, I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to soothe it? The fur is starting to grow back where she was shaved for her op & she's not touching the scar & it's healing nicely but has this little rash on the shaved bit which is why I think it's from where she was shaved.

I know how she feels though, like when you give birth & they shave your lady garden, it itches like mad when it grows back.

I agree with Inky, don't touch the area at all just keep an eye on it to make sure there is no infection (no angry skin / weeping).You really don't want to draw attention to the area, if Tilly starts to show an interest in the scar distract her with a toy or play. The area around the scar should soon settle down on its own

I s'pose I could always put the dreaded buster collar back on if she continues to scratch.
