Is it normal for my pet's fur to feel crunchy after a lime sulfur dip?

Question

Hi! I did my first lime sulfur dip, I used the garden one which is 23 percent and diluted it accordingly. Is it normal for his fur to feel crunchy or matted after it dries? I'm in Canada and pet stores don't sell the pet version which is much stronger. I ordered it from amazon but will take another week. The one I used is for garden and is 23 percent vs the pet one which is 97 percent that I will be getting. Just wondering if it's normal to feel crunchy? Should I rinse it tmrw?

Yes, using the lime-sulfur dip will make the fur have a strange crunchy feel to it after it dries. I don't recommend rinsing it off as I do believe it has some residual effect even after dried that can help speed the healing/therapeutic process. Brushing can help the texture feel more normal quicker.
