Burrito

[lydz]

I've read some of you mentioning wrapping chins in a burrito in order to check them over. Can anyone explain this a bit?

Fatso's fur looks like it either got wet from pee of the water bottle. It's a little matted in a couple of areas. I read able using babies wipes but I know that he won't sit still for me to do it. I want to try the burrito but am not sure how and I don't want to scare or hurt him.

Most commonly used for force feeding, the basic idea is that you wrap them in a towel snugly but gently so they can't move their legs to escape... usually with just their head poking out (looks like a burrito!). To check fur, depending where it is, you may have to adjust a bit, if it will work at all.

You could also describe it like rolling a cigar, swaddling a baby, or... ok I'm out. Burrito is a good way to describe it though, lol! Pretty much if you can get the chin secured in the blanket/towel without it being too tight and so you can do what you need to do, you've got it.
