That was heartbreaking for our whole family. So much faith has to be placed on a groomer. It is a huge responsibility and those that do it well deserve a lot of respect. |
I am so sorry that this happened to you, your family, and especially your precious little pup. I cannot even began to imagine what you went through.[/COLOR]
[QUOTE=eddiesmom14;3416125]A groomer cut Eddie's neck open all the way from his ear to his shoulder. He had to be put under anesthesia and sewed up. It was horrible even though he acted like nothing happened. I finally found DVD's on Ebay that show you step by step how to groom your Yorkie from shaving their little bung hole to doing all different cuts and everything in between. I ordered good clippers and all the things I need and now my husband and I will be doing it ourselves.
here's what Eddie looked like after surgery. You don't want to know what it was like before. I hope I'm doing this right
