Oof, I hope you feel better soon, mad scientist fox.
Thank you, my good floofer - it's nothing serious, fortunately. 14+ months of long Covid to the extremes were enough for a lifetime, no need to repeat that, as such off to a good bath. ?
I dunno, baths kind of gross me out, as I feel like I'm basically laying in a soapy stew of my own filth I've collected throughout the day. I feel so much cleaner when taking showers.
Hmm, I basically take three steps: hot water for initial cleaning and soaping of body, then draining it while shampooing the long fox hair intensely, then using very hot water to shower clean, then staying in the water for 10-15 minutes? around, then I'm kneeing and showering cold with the hand shower as to close hair cells and get the remaining "stew" flushed away.
Doesn't take that long at all, like 30 minutes. Drying and new clothes like 15 minutes. Just the cleaning (drying) of the bathroom or what one would call as such takes another 30-50 minutes, depending on my perfectionism.
Never had the feeling to not be "clean" after this, but it might differ from animal to animal.
In summer I just shower cold with garden hose in the garden, but not at -2°C. That would kill one earlier or later if it takes longer than a few minutes.
