Do we take it you've had a successful hair trimming session?

The perfect piggie, no vets bills, cheap to feed, doesn't shout the house down every time you open the fridge and doesn't eat the furniture.

Sorry for the slow reply, I've been ill so have been prioritising taking care of people rather than chatting about them!
Perran, who is very nervy anyway, was really struggling with stress during grooming sessions. So I decided to take the same approach one does with fearful dogs i.e. remove most of the coat and get them used to grooming from the ground up, as it were. She's doing much better now and although not enjoying things, is more readily tolerating hair care. However I think I'll be sticking to keeping her relatively trimmed long term as I'm finding it easier to keep an eye on general condition too. I am aiming to do small trims from now on though, rather than any further big chops
