| Omg I Am Going To Kill My Vet, Gracie Looks Terrible! Yes I know it's only hair but does this guy have a clue! She was vomiting profusely this morning and had diarrhea. She was puking up foam every 5 minutes so I rushed her to the vet. She had puke in her beard of course and he had to take her temp and he couldn't find her rectum. He asked me if I cared if he he trimmed her a bit to make it easier. I said OK. So he got out the clippers trimmed her rear end and trimmed around her eyes then proceeded to cut her WHOLE beard off! He said there now you won't get wet eating breakfast every day! I WANTED TO KILL HIM. Does he not know a Yorkie is SUPPOSSED TO look that way. There is NOTHING LEFT! She is better. She must have gotten into something he thinks, what I don't know. She was in her kennell all night so I don't know WHAT she got into or what the deal is. She can't eat for 24 hours and only water and he gave some pills to give her over the next 5 days. |

| I am so sorry ! I know how you feel. My groomer is on maternity leave and she knows not to cut my baby's beard, but the substitute trimmed it short. Not all off, but cut in half. I am still fuming.......... |

| Well he sounds like a total jerk to me. Even the comment he made was out of line, like you don't know how to care for her. If he felt that you should be trimming the butt hair, he should have shown you how and explained it to you. but the face was not necessary. |

| I would wish that so much hair hadn't been cut also. But - it must have been a "little too long" on her behind if he could even find her rectum. Anyway - things like this aren't what I want to happen either - but they aren't very high on my list of serious problems in life. I had a little poddle mix that had two or three cuts in her life that were short of being pathetic. They were so bad that I tried to keep her hid for a while. And - they were so bad that they were almost (but not quite) funny. However, her hair grew back every time....and life went on. I wouldn't feel as you do toward my vets. I guess he was just more into taking care of your pup's health problems than he was into grooming.... Oh - the trials and tribulations of owning a Yorkie - right! |

| Yep the butt I was not mad about, the beard I am. There was NO reason to chop her beard off. |

| I don't blame you, I would be REALLY annoyed, as well! Hello, I can see if it were surgery, or a life and death situation at that moment, but....he's a vet....he deals with animal lovers....he knows how important their appearance is to us...that was just UNcalled for. Not long ago the vet had to treat my lab for a minor abrasion on her back, and he shaved around it to treat it....AFTER asking me FIRST if I had his PERMISSION to do so!

| hahahahah! i'm so not laughing AT you, but rather reflecting on my own experience. i took baxter to a new place to get his hair did.. and somehow they must have forgotten to do his head. i said puppy cut, but they heard bobble-head. i was SO flustered when they brought him out. i was in shock. BUT poop happens and now i know who not to take him too. pics are from before and after: |
