I always thought they had gotten her overheated as it was a very hot summer's day and we later noticed cages out back of their shop. But, after I saw a video and heard the sound of a collapsed trachea, I think that was what she had instead of just a reverse sneeze. I believe she got over-excited at the groomers, and they probably used the grooming noose too tightly and that is how she died. I tell you this to make sure if you have your little one groomed, that they know the danger and agree NOT to use the noose. Make sure you have a good harness that does not put any pressure on her throat, no collars. |
Im so sorry to hear this about your little one,it must have been dreadful.
I havent yet taken my Missy to a groomers, as here as well as over your area I expect,you have to leave the dog with the groomers,and I dont really want to do this,as I have heard some can be rather rough,so Id like to be able to stay,but know this isnt always possible.....so I have had a go myself,i.e. trimming and thinning her coat.......obviously Im not to sure about clipping her nails,I just to a little when needed.
Yes obviously the noose couldnt have helped
,and I have decided to use a harness.again that was hard to find as she got out of one of them,she now has an extra small that was intended for the car safety,but it fits lovely......again Im sorry for your little one......a different thing but I lost my cat when she went under for her spaying....they never had it happen before,and Id only not long lost my dog Ben at 17
