I don't know if this is a common problem or not but here goes.

 

My Bluebell has a really dirty bottom ! In the past we have had to wash it about every 2 weeks but having been away for a few days she has a really bad build up. I'm happy to do this but she's not too happy about it and it does turn into a bit of a circus act.

 

Her poos are good, they aren't runny or messy so I'm not concerned about her health but it looks terrible and it can't be good for her.

 

Is it possible or ok to trim the feathers around her rear end or will I have to wash her again. Tickets on sale at the box office ......

 

Thanks peeps.

Too much protein can cause them to get dirty vent feathers, as can worms.

 

Have they been wormed lately? If not, I'd recommend Flubenvet for a seven day period.

 

I have heard of some people trimming one or two feathers around the vent previously on this forum.
