So I've been researching on here for a bit, and as I have a little boy, I'm seeing more and more about hair ring. I've only had him a week, and we are moving to Liverpool, so i'm yet to do the 'first trip to the vets' for the usual check ups and of course, makin sure he is a boy!
Now, hair ring seems to be something common, and judging from what i've researched so far, there could be some hints towards Starrkey being due for a check....only thing is though is he HATES being handled. Loves a good cuddle, strokes and belly rubs, but pick him up he moans, even when steadied in my arms and cuddled and giving treats, he's quick to leave. I know its only a week, but he's really confident other than that, obviously a personal preference, but how can i make this first attempt of a check as comfortable as possible with the fact he's a squirmer...and that I've never done it before!?
what did you all do your first go? Let a vet show you?
