I know things happen and the dog can be wiggly and move a lot. I think its good they are getting her stitched up, but I'd be upset too. Thats your baby! I gave both my boys haircuts yesterday and the first time I ever did it I nicked my Dex.... I felt awful. I have learned though that when he gets wiggly to give him a min or five to calm down. Its stressful for the dog, you cannot force such a small baby to be still! I love my groomer, I just can no longer afford to get 2 dogs groomed every 3 months in this economy so I do the best I can on their heads and then I use clippers on their bodies. I do ok, not as good as a groomer, but acceptable. I get them professionally done maybe twice a year now and do the betweens myself.

Im sure your baby is ok but Im so sorry that happened and Im sure it will be traumatizing for her for the next groom she has. You'll have to warn the new groomer that she had a traumatic experience and shes understandably going to be anxious so give her a few mins to calm down if she gets wiggly.
