Mike, I'm so glad to see Miss Jillie is now home and that her ear will heal quickly. I agree with other's, Jillie's ear really looks good and with her gorgeous hair, she'll always be beautiful!
So sorry she lost 3 teeth though.
I know it will probably will always be a mystery what really happened but I'm glad to see you're considering changing groomers taking in account what happened with Eddie recently and now Jillie.
Years ago my aunt was a groomer and I'd go daily to assist her with the grooming. An elderly lady brought in a Yorkie that had never been groomed before so needless to say he was quite a nervous little guy.
As my aunt started trimming the hair around his ears ,he really began to get startled and started nipping and jumping around bc of the sound of the scissors. Then it happened, she cut his ear!
She immediately applied pressure to the ear with a cold wet rag to stop the bleeding, then applied baby powder to help the ear clot. It worked, the bleeding stopped completely.
I called her vet to let them know she was bringing him in and then the owner to let her know her know what happened and that her dog would be alright. I stayed at the shop to wait for the owner while my aunt took the dog to the vet.
I'll never forget the look of horror on the owner's face when my aunt returned with her Yorkie. I thought the poor owner was going to have a heart attack, the vet had wrapped his WHOLE HEAD with white gauze to prevent him from rubbing his ear and causing more bleeding. All I could see was two eyes and a snout, poor little guy looked like a mummy!
My point is that I know from this experience, my aunt was able to stop the bleeding and bc of his long hair, I couldn't see the cut once he was taken off the grooming table.
Sending hugs to Jillie and wishing her a speedy recovery.
