okay.. so i took snickers in for a groom like i usually always do. i've been going to the same groomer for about 3 years now, they have always done a good job..and they usually finish him up in about an hour... but this time when i took him in, they didnt call me back to come and get him until 3 hours later!! i didnt think anything of it..i thought maybe they were just busy or something.
but anyways.. on with my story. so i went back to the groomers and they gave me back snickers..he was happy and chipper like he always is when he see's me.. he was kissing me and licking my face.. he seemed normal.* so i paid them and i left.. we went into the car and i drove away.. i was driving for about 10 mins..when all of the sudden.. snicker's ear starts bleeding like crazy!! and i'm not talking about just blood..but i'm talking about DROPLETS OF BLOOD.. it was GUSHING OUT. i was freaking out!! it got all over my car and my clothes.. i was panicking..i thought he was really hurt... it scared me! i held his ear with some napkins..but it just kept coming out.. i was SOOO ANGRY! the groomers let me walk out of the door without telling me of the accident!! i mean i wouldnt be as angry if they would've told me before i left..and paid..so i took snickers back to the groomers and i showed them what they did! they were apologizing to me.. and blah blah "oh its just a cut..like when you cut your lip..theres so many vessels there.. i mean it doesnt needs stiches or anything..." at the time i thought it was just a little cut.. i didnt want to touch his ear..because i didnt want to hurt him..they offered to pay for his vet bill..but i did not realize how serious it was.becasue they had reassured me that it was "just a cut" so they gave me a refund.. and i told them if it had gotten any worse.. i would take him to the vet.. so i come home..and i just think "its just a cut" its not anything serious..i mean he isnt hurt or anything..UNTIL LAST NIGHT.. i looked at his ear again..closer.. and realized that about a half of an inch of his outer EAR is MISSING. like CUT OFF.. A CHUNK IS MISSING. everyone is telling me that i should sue them.. i am very very hurt.and angry..my little babie's ear is cut..and i know he was in a lot of pain..and was probably crying.. i cut his toe nails and he cries.. this was a big chunk of tissue.. and i'm pretty sure it was really painful..i feel awful... this is my baby!! i mean you would be pretty angry too! i dont know what to do, i'm thinking that maybei should SUE them, because they didnt even have the nerve to tell me before i left until i came back with blood all over my clothes...
does anyone have any thoughts on this?!? or what i should do.. or if i do sue them..how and how amd i supposed to go about this?!?!i am very hurt by this... i know people may think i'm being too emotional about this... but its just like me losing a chunk of my ear.. and he's my baby..i feel very awful about it..
and he was being so brave about it.. i know he's in pain..ears have a lot of nerves...
