I was just talking with my Bishop and he mentioned that huskies are not supposed to be shaved down to the skin. When we adopted Baby, I didn't even think about that. She was shaved down to the skin for her operation... Is this normal with huskies? Is it true that she could get an infection from being shaved down to the skin?

Shaving the belly for a spay is not an issue. The issue with shaving comes when someone completely shaves a husky. Different parts of the body grow different types of hair and in different densities. A complete shave to the skin on the whole body can cause ingrown hairs that will be problematic. That aside, shaving a husky completely, doesn't have to go all the way to the skin, can make it difficult for huskies to regulate their body temperature. Their fur serves to both protect them from cold as much as from heat and they can potentially die of heat stroke if shaved in summer.

Ahhhh. Thank you very much for the information, @TwisterII.
