Show us your pets!

this is quite sad, but a couple of weeks ago when I was at the spca hospital doing my volunteering, the vet tech was shaving a very badly matted himalayan. She was so matted that they literally shaved her fur off like an orange peel. They kept the fur and weighed it: it was over a pound! The poor thing must have been so happy to finally be able to breathe through her skin.

I once saw this when I was applying for a vet asst. job. I don't know how someone could let a pet get in such a condition let alone have the nerve to take them to the vet. I would be so ashamed.
