Our female chin has several portions of severely matted fur near her umm...hoo hoo? vagina? and maybe anus.

It's hard to tell because she lets us pet her and scratch under her chin but WILL NOT let us pick her up with out fighting and shedding hair she wiggles so badly you can't keep a hold of her and if you try to turn her over she goes bonkers.

I can feel dime and quarter size very very bad matted fur maybe up to (4) places...we've had her for 3 years and this has never happened.

I can touch them but can not even think about lightly pulling I think they hurt her?

She has NEVER let us comb her. She trusts us but like I said picking her up she goes bonkers. I would never try to cut them off as even with two people one holding her I think we'd cut her by accident.

Am I going to end up taking her to a vet?
