I am also new on this board. This is my first reply.I had a very bad experience with a groomer before the holidays also. I have 2 yorkies Max 4 yrs and Gidget 4 months. I have always groomed Max myself but I had a picture I saved for a year of a medium cut that was so cute. I thought it would be great for the holidays. I took him to a local groomer. She called and said he was done to come and get him when I did she said there was no charge and put him on the counter. He was shaved ugly and his eye was full of blood. She had cut his eyelid. I rushed him to the vet. They had to put him to sleep to repair his eye. Then he developed an ulcer in his eye. It was soooo horrible by the time it was all done, he had been to the vet 4 times. The groomer did pay all vet bills and did said Max did not move that it was her fault. I am now leary of groomers and he looks horrible. It was a very traumatic experience. The poor little boy now is scared to death of the vet and he never was before this.
