I'm mortified.
My two little babes got groomed last Friday. This groomer has worked on Max before (he only gets a puppy cut/shaved) and not Maggie (long hair). This time around, we took them both.
Maggie left with a beautiful, CLIP IN bow and I was very surprised they they gave her more than the usual rubberband cheap "cut out" bows. She didn't fuss with it at all (usually does with the bands) so we left it in until today. Maggie is almost 9 and I've worn many a bow in her hair. I know almost a week is a little much, but her bangs were out of her eyes, she was fine with it and my work schedule has been insane and making me basically delirious.
I just took the bow out of her hair as we were cuddling and there was a "knot" in her hair where it was. I was like, "oh jeez, another knot! Shouldn't have left that in for so long. I know better!" Turns out... it is a RAISED pinch of her skin that is scabbed/dark red that had been clipped by the bow for almost a week.
I'm in tears that I let that happen and let it slip past me. She isn't bothering it but I feel like a total failure.
Also, I'm going to watch it tonight and tomorrow (take her to work with me) because I'm worried that maybe since it was pinched for so long there could be skin death?
Super mortified the groomer/vet let that happen and even more mortified I didn't notice sooner.
Has ANYONE ever experienced something like this?
