Question
Hello,

My 2 months old persian kitten is stinking at poo area and also the hairs around poo area has become yellow. I tried to clean it with water but its the same. Vet suggested not to give bath to her so I used to wipe her out with wet cloth. Please suggest how can I clean her?

Regards,
Hemali

Answer
Hi Hemali,

You have to keep the hair away from his hind area. If he gets poo stuck to him use scissors and cut away the hair it is stuck on. Keep his back side area cut short. Then wash the area with a wash clothe. I have to do the same with mine.  This will take care of your problem. Also goggle Persian dirty face syndrome. They get this a lot too. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
