Yes, take it to small claims court. Don't let them get by with such a terrible thing. They should have been honest about it when you picked him up, but since they lied, then they need to be brought up on charges. I hope you took lots of pictures of the burns, and get a letter from the Vet. You definitely have a case and "will" win. Maybe this will jolt them into being more careful. You will no doubt be helping other fur babies.
Another thing you could do is go tell the groomer that if they don't pay the Vet. bill, that you will have a picture of the burns blown up and will picket in front of her business. (knowing me, I'd picket even IF she paid the Vet. bill, because she lied and tried to get out of it). |
