I was going to start a thread on this very thing today. On Christmas Day when Lexi was just a baby (she a big six months now) she went poop and she just kept trying to go. We couldn't figure out what was going on. We took a look and sure enough, something was coming out, but it sure didn't look like what should be coming out of there. We panicked, off the the emergency vet and sure enough, it was just poop stuck in her hair. So we joke that she had her first bikini trim for Christmas. Our little Lexi has just gained a bit of freedom. She is now able to go into the yard (with supervision) instead of just the deck. She went out and pooped for the first time in the yard. I could tell she was uncomfortable about something and since this has happened before, I could see she had 'some stuck'. She ran around the yard full blast about 10 times frantically trying to get 'unstuck' and with no success, up onto the deck and into the house. I was thinking to myself as I followed her in 'I hope that doesn't end up on the couch.'

I came in to find her sitting on the rug in the bathroom with a look of 'Mom, it happened again, help please me.' A bit of a bottom wash and all was well again, but I was wondering how to let the groomer know how to trim back there. I have told her this happens and she trims, but about a week after the groom, this happens again. What is the right trim for back there???
