2 inches...my goodness, thats one hell of a nick!
I would be so angry. Hopefully there is someone on here who can tell you what to sue them for...im sure there must be something other than the vets bill. Maybe trauma, stress, wages because you have to take the week off work to care for her?

Nick? It looks like she had throat surgery.

I know these little ones are wiggle worms but my goodness that
is unbelievable. They have to carry liability insurance being in
that kind of business. I hope it heals nicely.
Poor baby,

Hugs,

I am so sorry that happened, I can see why you would be mad, I would be furious. I know the groomer next to me told me not to ever cut any hair on mine when they have knots and it's close to their skin, she said they have a little tool to get those knots out and it doesn't hurt the dog, so, am wondering why your groomer wouldn't have one of those? Please give little Bella a kiss. that poor baby.

OMG... that is NOT a nick, I don't know how the heck they could do that. I agree these little ones are squirmy but really that is crazy, that should not have happened!

Yorkielove1 · 03-09-2009, 12:03 PM

I know.. now im feeling so guilty.. Working 2 jobs i cant brush her as much as i like to and i missed a couple days of brushing her. She had a couple little mats that i couldnt get out with her comb. I just feel so bad, like its my fault. She just came home and shes acting like nothing happened shes very happy and jumpy, but i just feel like a horrible mom

Yorkielove1 · 03-09-2009, 12:05 PM

im also mad that they lied to me saying they nicked her.. i cant believe they downplayed her injury so much. She's chewing on a bone right now very happily

That is un-freaking-believable! I don't even know how they pulled that one off! And to call it a "nick"...that's a joke

I hope your little one heals up quick. Poor thing. That must have been a terrible experience.

Oh its not your fault at all, im sure everyone here has missing a few days of brushing our dogs.

Groomers are and should be trained to getting or cutting out mats without hurting an animal. Looks like someone was in a rush and obliviously careless.

Critter · 03-09-2009, 12:13 PM

DO NOT blame yourself. they should have been more careful!

shannonroselive · 03-09-2009, 12:13 PM

Holy cow! Where do they get the idea this is a nick?? Did they think you wouldn't look at it??? I would SO sue the hell out of them. Pain, stress, etc on both YOU and the puppy!!! Time off work...hell I'd make stuff up! I can't believe what I'm looking at here! That poor baby. That "spa" would be Curly Macs kick-ya-ass spa when I got through with them!

I agree something should happen, but making stuff up is a little far.
creates bad karma.

Yorkielove1 · 03-09-2009, 12:31 PM

Thanks guys!!! I never thought this kind of thing would happen to my poor bells... im sure she's traumatized now. Thanks again for all the support

Shiloh Zayne · 03-09-2009, 12:35 PM

Oh my goodness! My jaw literally dropped when I saw the picture of this so called "nick". They are definitely downplaying it to an extreme!! Bless both of your hearts, sending you lots of love and hugs

I had one really bad experience with a groomer, and now I drive all the way to my small hometown in Kentucky so that my babies can be groomed by a friend I went to high school with. It's a five hour drive but I get to visit family and I feel so much better knowing my lil furbabies are in good hands.

Whatever you do, don't blame yourself you couldn't have possibly known this would happen! Keep a close eye on her wound though. My Shiloh (the one I had a bad experience with groomers) had a really bad cut on his chest next to his leg, a little to the right of where Bella's is and every time he would jump up on the bed or couch it would open up. She might need a little more TLC for the next couple of days.

Let us all know how she is doing!

DanielleAllen · 03-09-2009, 12:37 PM

It might not hurt to call a lawyer...some places give free advice. You could ask them what you are able to sue for...just an idea! Glad to hear that it isn't effecting her...
