| Okay, let me take a deep breath first. I took Dolly to another vet on the other side of town (actually a lot closer to my house now) that Dolly's old vet recommended, they did an analysis on her wound, and it appeared to them that the wound was about 1 and 1/4 inches long, and she would def. need stitches to heal considering her size and the position of the wound. they told me the fact that they lied about the wound size and not contacting me before serious treatment would def. make a case. they suggested that I should first report this to BBB since the old vet was a member, and BBB will direct me to take appropriate steps if needed. they got her some perscription pain med. which the old vet never thought was needed after stitches!!! I called and talked to the old vet owner over the phone, I told him about how unprofessional and ignorant the groomer was and how nasty the manager was. Dolly's dress cost more than freaking $35, you will pay many times of 35 if you hurt my girl. I told him about the evidence I gathered, and I will be taking appropriate actions. if he wanted this drama to end sooner, he should get his a** off the chair and do something. I made clear that at this point just money is not enough, I want individual accountability, whoever did this should be responsible. I have an appt. with him tomorrow morning. and Im not looking for another groomer, I pay the groomer to do the job because I believe he/she could do it better than me, well, I just lost faith in them, I know its unfair to say, but I just can't help it. I just ordered a professional grooming scissor from petedge, I have a clipper, a trimmer, cc brush and comb, etc. and I think I actually do know quite a bit about yorkie grooming to do it myself, I've done this a few times in the past, although slow, but I did ok, DOlly looked just as adorable, and more importantly, she did not have stitches!

I completely understand how you feel right now. It is hard to find a great groomer who is very caring. I was lucky enough to find one after not so pleasant experience with the previous one.

| Ugh... GOOD FOR YOU!! Our dog actually got hurt too at a groomer's, it was really bad! I got a call from the groomer's saying "you dog jumped off of our table and when we were cutting her hair we cut your dog, it doesn't look bad...we will put this glue on her leg and it should get better within a few days" They made me pay for the groom, When my husband seen this he blew a gasket, it was actually really bad...we took her to the vet....they had to put her under and do surgery and have 6 stitches on her hind leg, we felt bad...so we took the bill to the groomer and had them pay the $400 vet bill, at first they didn't want to pay for it, but my husband had a real nice talk with them and stated if they didn't he would take further actions....I should have def turned them into the BBB. But...come to find out They are no longer in business! |

| OMG. Never take her back! The first time I had keely groomed, the groomer cut her quick. As soon as I stepped in the door she came running out with keely in her arms and had tears in her eyes! She felt soo bad about it and started telling us what happened. She felt ssooo bad. But it was an accident and it was keelys fault because she kicked her foot (GO figure, it was the last nail on the last foot that had to be done) My groomer didnt want us to pay for the grooming, but we paid her and gave her a 5 dollar extra tip. She seemed more distraught about it then anybody else (And beleive me, i was upset my baby was hurt). Your groomer accually sounds, like she didnt care. Thats horrible |

| I told my husband about this & he said, "Honey, if that ever happens to one of the boys just give me a call & I'll tell the police where to go to find the body. And I'll bail you out, I promise" |

| Ok, maybe I should delete this thread. I just don't understand how someone can have their pet injured TWICH from the same person. I recently changed vets because I had a weird feeling about the one Prince was using. Nothing happened, I just had an unfortable feeling. |

from the many thread on this site, I get to learn that being a groomer is not easy. our furkids are animals and actually do things sometimes unexpectedly. and I'd like to give people a benefit of doubt because we are humans and not mistake proof. I believe the best way to motivate people so they can do better in the future is to support them and tell them its ok. but certainly there is a limit, and it only works with people who want to be better. and this in deed, was not the case.

| I found out today that this groomer has hurt more babies other than just mine, there have been quite a bit of compaints against her. and the vet owner has decided to let her go. to be honest, I kinda feel bad! Dolly is doing so much better now, and thanks everyone.
