Thank you everyone for your concern and good wishes. Keisha is still not too responsive tonight. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully a better one all around. I did put a call in to the vet because she kept closing her eyes this afternoon and just wanted to sleep....just so unlike her. If she continues in this state , I will be bringing her to Red Bank Hospital in NJ. tomorrow. She really should have improved by tonight and she hasn't. In fact, she has been shivering and trembling uncontrollably, like she's freezing, and she has a shirt on her! Her eyes are now tearing and she looks at you like she wants to tell you something bad. Pathetic and unnecessary. My daughter is a basket case.

To the groomers on this thread, I fully empathize with your job and I understand your points completely. However, I still stand my ground: there is no reason for any dog to come out after shaving to look and act like the victim of a rape and beating. And Keisha was certainly not that knotted that a little tenderness and gentle care couldn't.

If I knew that she was going to come out in the condition she did, I would have never allowed her to be groomed. I'd have done it myself as I usually do.

Well, hopefully, we can put this behind us in a few days and Keisha will recover. The groomer was absolutely a nasty person with a snappy attitude who needs to learn a little professionalism...she's about 30 yrs old...maybe she should find another job, maybe like grooming in a prison! I could take her down to a few pens where I used to report lineups daily. Makes you want to walk a very straight line all the time.

By the way, I just found out tonight that my next door neighbor had taken her Maltese to her 2 weeks ago and had a run-in with her too. Her dog had the worst cut, shaven down and very uneven. In fact, it's hard to recognize that she's a Maltese.

Time to call ABC's Shame on You!
