My little 10 month old Yoshi went to his first groom on Tuesday, he spent the whole day there (from 8:30AM to 3:30PM) When I went to pick him up, they had shaved all his hair off (I agreed to because his hair was all matted and I thought it's summer here now anyways so it'd be good for him), I was really happy with the groom. The groomer said he was a bit fidgety at first, but he got the idea and after a while he was very good.
When we got home, he just kept rolling around on our beds for a while, and then he was acting completely normal after wards when my parents got home from work. He was eating, drinking and playing.
The next day (Wednesday), my mum said she found his vomit behind our couch, she thinks it must of been the car ride the day before to and from the vet (he still gets car sick). I agreed.
Last night (Wednesday night) I got up to make a midnight snack, he heard me in the kitchen so he came to be nosy, he looked at me started shivering extremely. I just thought he must of been tried because I notice he shivers a lot when he's really tired or hasn't had enough sleep. My mum said he hadn't slept much in the day time of Wednesday.
I kept him in my bed, and when he finally wanted to sleep he would curl up and shiver every time he breathed in. I knew he wasn't dreaming because he would move around a lot too. And continue to shiver immediately. I tried to comfort him and wrap him with a warm blanket and try give him as much body heat, he'd stay still for a while then he'd start moving away towards the end of the bed and shiver down there.
Later on I fell asleep and he got up the next morning when he heard my parents getting ready for work. We put his little jacket on him, but now he was still shivering while he was awake too. I now know he's had plenty of sleep, but it was still too early for me to get up so I went back to sleep and he came to sleep next to me after my parents left, so I wrapped my blanket around him and he would stop shivering for a wee while, then start up again every time he moved positions.
When we both finally got up, I fed him to see if he would eat and he did, but he would just walk around with his head dipped low and his tail half way above the ground and he would just sit there. So I tested him to see if he was up to play so I would tag him and he would be himself again, alert and all with his tail wagging away.
I have read a lot of forums and I do agree he's probably a little shocked from the lost of all his hair or is in shock from what happened at the groomers. Cos I know he HATES the hair dryer or any loud noises.
But why is he acting up days after the groom? And how long is this going to take? Is there anything I can do to make him stop feeling like this or just help him in anyway in general???
Right now he's asleep on the ground, curled up next to my chair and I can still see his shivers every time he breathes in.
Oh and I've checked everywhere and he hasn't got any burnt marks or cuts on his body EXCEPT for a really small little dry burnt cut on his right ear which he doesn't take much notice of when I touch it.
Please help!!!
