Thank you for all your reassurance and I have calmed down now, told the vet to consult me prior to any snipping and just pleased Reuben is on the mend. Poor Legolas def didn't look impressed, bless him!

<p>Hi Louise,</p>
<p>When Legolas had a bone fragment removed from his shoulder they shaved almost a quarter of his body ( for hygiene reasons I was told), including his front leg down to his toes, removing all his wild feathering, he looked pretty strange for a few months but now it doesn't look at all any different to his right side, there was the stubble phase for a while & his skin needed a lot of moisturiser and sudocrem as he had bad razor burn and a few nicks in his skin but like I…</p>

<p>It isn't normal to cut the feathering for that kind of surgery. They usually take any hair off and around the area of the incision, however some vets/nurses can go wild with the clippers.</p>
