ACK! What happened at the groomers! Ok, one of the ladies that I work with..her parent's dog went in to get groomed at a groomer/vet service here in Grand Rapids. It was a guy with a curled tail sort of like the Maltese, but with long hair on it. They went in to pick him up and found that he had been cut during grooming and had to be rushed to the vet section. The groomers had hit a main blood line and had to have it stiched right away. They did not have to pay for the grooming or vet care. Both the vet and the groomers were not very nice and said it was no big deal and they didn't understand why they were so upset about it. Ok..so this week they had to take him back for the stiches to be removed. They removed his stiched and said everything looked good. They took him home and when he started wagging his tail blood started squirting everywhere!! They rushed him back to the vet where they said that it would not heal and the end of the tail was now dead. They had to REMOVE the tail and now he only has a stump!! He also got his shots updated at that time and can you believe they had to pay for them? Over $100!! They got the one grooming free, stiches and tail removal for free and that's it!! Can you believe that??!! They never even offered additional free grooming - not that you would ever want to go back, but still!!!!!
