She is still just adorable
! But OMG, I'd be SO PISSED off.
For the vulva injury, I would def put triple-anti on there, and then just put in a call to your vet to discuss. I really doubt they'll have you come in, but at least you'll have the peace of mine of hearing them say "we see this a lot, it's minor, try the cream" - or whatev.
So anyway, back to the pissed off part. I never understood why so many groomers ask you what you want done, and then do everything you asked them NOT to do. What the ? I'd especially be ticked about the eye hair
- it takes a long time for you to grow it out, and then she just chops it off.
I'll briefly describe my experience w/ groomers
. The first couple years w/ had Wylie, we did most of his grooming, but took him to a salon about 3 times. The first time, they told us they'd cut his quick while trimming his nails. His cut was a mess. The 2nd time - we went to a diff groomer, he was terrified when we dropped him off - I told them to be careful of cutting his quick. They cut it
. The 3rd time, we tried yet again another groomer; when I picked him up, he was totally butchered beyond anything and terrified upon pick-up - I asked if they cut his quick, they said yes.
We were done. For the next 2yrs, he would shake super badly whenever it was brushing time - it finally got better after 2yrs of being gentle during brushings. He has never gotten over the claw cutting issues; to this day (he is now 7) he goes berserk when we cut his claws....even tho me and Tony have never cut his quick. The look in his eyes when we cut his nails is just sheer, shell-shocked terror - my poor little man. He was just so traumatized by groomers
.
Also, how about those drying-boxes? Those seem just terrifying to me. What doggie wouldn't be scared by that, all alone in there?
So anyway, we don't do groomers at all. Marcel and Pfeiffer have never (and will never) go to a groomer. It just doesn't work for us, and it's not the best thing for our furs.
That said, I know there are really great groomers out there (some of them on this board), but I haven't found one on my own.
Hang in there and give your baby lots of extra love - maybe it'll make her hair grow faster
