That just makes me mad! How could they have cut her foot and not call to tell you!
You're basically starting over with her. You're going to have to teach her it's ok. Start with picking out the most delicious thing for a treat, and only use it for this purpose. Go very slowly with her, don't get frustrated. I'd be scared of grooming supplies too if I required stitches. Take out your grooming supplies, show them to her, put them away, and then treat her for being a good girl. When she is calm and ok with you simply taking out the supplies, move on to allowing her to sniff them. Then, touch her with the scissors, don't cut just touch her. When she's ok with that, move on to the clippers. Let her sniff it. When that's ok, show it to her, turn it on. Leave it on for a second, then treat her. I think you get the idea of where I'm headed. You'll have a shaggy puppy for a while, but I think it's worth it to get her over her fear. She's going to be groomed her entire life, it's best if you work with her now. I have a shy, fearful dog, so trust me this works. He now sleeps when I'm cutting his hair.
