I can't believe that! I feel so bad for his little ear. Is Jinju doing alright? I would definitly take action against her. |
Thank you YTers... To everyone who wrote with advice...THANK YOU SO MUCH, it's wonderful that I can always count on this forum to get support and advice whenI need it. Jinju is alright. She's a real trooper, but everytime we look at her, we just feel soooo bad. Her ears were perfect little Yorkie ears, and now it there's a huge piece missing. I know the aesthetics of the dog isn't important, b/c I love my girl just as much, but it's so THERE. BUT, overall, she seem fine. We have been giving her Clavamox drops 2x a day just in case. I have decided that YES...we will take legal action against this cruel and horribly insensitive lady. She needs to be given a rude awakening...How dare she treat us that way and be so non-chalant...a "nick"? Please... I will keep everybody posted...:aimeeyork If there is anymore advice or info, keep it comin'! I need all the advice I can get. Thank you all, Mona, Jinju and Family. |
I'm totally speechless! Poor, poor puppy! You really need to pursue this for jinju's sake and for all the other puppies out there that may suffer in the hands of these unprofessionals! |

poor dax... i am learning to groom by myself.. definitely sue her for damages...poor doggies:animal36 |
My heart stopped when I saw that big chunk missing. Thats crazy the owner would act like that. You would think the owner would be overly concerned, its obvious he is in the wrong business. I am glad you are going to take legal action, he definetly needs to be taught a HUGE lesson. I am also glad your baby is not in pain. |
Your poor baby!!! I am a groomer and I have to tell you that is not a "nick". It took some serious negligence by the groomer to do that. I seriously can't even imagine how she did it??? The pattern of the cut is so odd I have no clue what she could have been doing to make a cut like that? She shouldn't have been "tipping" the ear that far down? and even if she was it is still an odd looking cut. And then for the owner to treat you that way. :mad: I would definitely go to the local papers with your story! I am sorry you and your baby had such a bad experience. |
I agree that the ear looks bad and I would be upset too if it were my dog but would not pursue legal action. Having raised yorkies for 12 years and knowing a number of groomers and grooming my own dogs, I know that unfortunately accidents do happen. Sometimes a dog will suddenly move or jerk and accidentally cause a cut or nick. Groomers are only human and they all make mistakes sooner or later. I am sure the owner might have been down playing the incident hoping you would not get as upset. I think it was very responsible of the owner to take her to the vet and get her checked out. Many groomers would probably not do anything and hope you did not notice. |

I don't know what I'd do in this situation, but I'd be tempted to cut off a piece of her ear! |
I am just stunned! I agree with others here that the owner should be held accountable. The insensitivity is incredible. |
On a personal note, I think it's horrible that Jinju's ear was damaged like that. It *does* look more like a bite than a nick, but the cause is irrelevant. Cosmetically speaking, if you let the hair on her ears grow farther up, just having the tips groomed, you will be able to disguise the missing chunk -- it will be hidden by her hair. It doesn't make it right, but at least you will be able to mitigate the damage somewhat. She's a cutie: it's a shame she looks like she got in the ring with Mike Tyson. |
That's terrible. It looks so red and painful. |
To bjh: I understand your point of view. I, myself, told the groomer that things can happen while grooming a dog. And yes, they did take my dog to a vet, which was the RIGHT THING TO DO. BUT, the owner was a total B*%CH about it. When my husband called her, she hung up on him! Not only that, but she lied to me by saying the ear would grow back! How do you downplay taking a hunk of a dog's ear off? Please take a CLOSE look at Jinju's ear. It is a big piece missing. |
Your poor dog! I hope he is not in pain. I took my dog to this Pet Value groomer and he scraped by male dog (Cody) so close to the skin on his genitals area that is was raw for a few days. My poor Cody keeps licking his wound and I could tell he is so uncomfortable. I have to keep an eye on him for a few days. These dog groomers should be sued. They think that because the dogs cannot tell us what was happening inside the grooming room, we would not know. That is why I am looking for a grooming academy or something that will teach me how to groom my dogs properly as I am afraid to take them to one. I think I have more anxiety than my dogs when I take them to be groomed. HOpe your dog heals faster and not in pain. Go sue the "SOB" owner who is so *******ed rude. It should teach her a lesson and who knows, she must have done this to some other dogs as well (maybe not nipping the ear) but some injury that the owner cannot tell visibly. Good luck and keep us posted. |
I would sue and do not agree with BJH at all. What about little kids that squiggle and move would it be an acceptable accident to cut off part of their ear? If a groomer is careful accidents never have to happen. I have groomed my dogs and other peoples dogs for over 20 years and never once cut off a chunk of ear! I hope you get them closed down! |
Omg your poor baby :( I can not believe the nerve of that woman :mad: Someone should cut off a peice of HER ear and act like it\'s no big deal...I wonder how she\'d feel about it then! :rolleyes: |
