I have a question for those who have Maltese that have grown into adults and gone through the change of type of hair.
I have two Maltese. Ages... 13 months, and 14 weeks. My older one is the Maltese in question. She has had very thin hair that is kinky in some places....esspecially the rare and behind the neck. About a month ago her hair matted up really bad no matter what I did. It took me 4 hours to demat her. She lost a lot of hair in the process. I see the hair is growing back where she lost it, but I've noticed the hair on her tail has gotten silky and the strains are much heavier. It actually is very pretty. Today during grooming I notice the hair around her legs the texture is also changing. Is this a sign of things to come on the rest of her body? The rest of her is still fluff.... and it is not fun to work with. How old are they when the adult hair finally comes in.
Thanks,
Joanne, Jasmine, and Chester
