 salon tragedys
Hello, I was very upset to hear all the stories about pet groomers. I have never had my dogs professionally groomed. I have a 3 year old Shih Tzu named Zoe and a 7 month old Yorkie named Bubba. I try to groom them myself sometimes but I also have a cousin that grooms dogs as a side job. I would die if something like that happened to one of my babies. My Yorkie woke us up at 1:00 am a few weeks ago and was struggling to breath and we had to take him to the Emergency Vet which is about 30 minutes away. We were rushing him over and got pulled over by the police but he let us go and said try not to speed too fast. LOL! The vet took xrays of Bubba and said that he had a collapsed Trachea. I was very upset and thought we were going to lose him. But we took him to our vet the next day and she told us that she had an 8 year old poodle with the same problem. He doesn't seem to be bothered by his breathing but it scares me when he and Zoe get to playing and he will start breathing very heavy. The vet says to just calm him down and it works. If anyone has a Yorkie with this problem please tell me your stories good or bod so that I will know what to expect if anything bad ever happens. We love this little guy very much and don't want to lose him. Thanks eevee |
