Will Feathers Grow Back After Shaved Off for Surgery?

I can’t see a photo if you’ve attached one, but yes — the hair will grow back. The feathers will probably take a bit longer since they are longer. I’m sorry that happened. They have to remove hair if they are doing surgery, but vets can be a little over zealous with it and they love a trimmer.

For hot spots and such, if some trimming is needed, I prefer to do it myself with scissors.
 
Oh wow. Now I see the photos. Again, it will grow back. I would have thought that was quite the shave also.
