| Surgery Q? for Burn (graphic) Will try to attach photo of "Chloe" - a friend's Yorkie who was burned in drying cage last Sat at groomers. Vet will be performing surgery Tues to remove the entire affected area. Very, very long, emotional week it was - HAS anyone ever seen this and/or experienced such a horrific thing? Does anyone know what to expect, ie..the procedure, recovery? Chloe is not my baby (I have 3 boston terrorists), she belongs to a friend; but, I've known her since I helped pick her out at 8 wks. She will be 1 yr old tomorrow. Thanks - I could also use advice that will help comfort my friend. |

| OMG I AM SO SORRY THIS IS HORRIFIC this baby is lucky to be alive as i have heard of dogs dying from this type of accident - she will be ok though as there is amazing medicine now a days for dogs. Calendula helps with building skin and i believe COQ10 so have her ask vet about these things after the surgery - wow this makes me want to cry i feel so bad for this baby and your friend |

| OMG that's awful!!! I know some larger pet stores aren't allowed to use cage dryers on small breeds (which isn't to say they don't actually use them). Our groomer just lets them air dry because they dry so fast. That's awful. Is your friends dog still in a lot of pain? |

| OMG that just makes my heart weep for the little one. I, too, hope they have her on pain meds so she is not in pain. I wish I knew words of wisdom for the owner.... all I can say is I am praying that God holds her up and brings her comfort during this difficult time. Huggs to you for seeking to help them both!

| i ended up having a mobile come to house after all the horror stories i read about and now wash and blow dry them myself and have groomer do cut and nails. I am too afraid - accidents happen but this is UNACCEPTABLE- my friends groomer cut her maltese and the dog needed stitches things happen but this is HORRIBLE pure negligence |

| Chloe..... Thanks to all of you for your prompt replies. I did read the article above "Thermal Burns in Dogs", good info....my friend would freak if she read it....this looks like a long haul. I will check into nutrients suggested to help her heal. I JUST hope she makes it thru surgery and recovery...my heart is so heavy for this precious little one. Florida here. I have been checking online about regulation, and appears "as someone said", there is none! The groomer used a cage/kennel with dryer attached. After going there yesterday, I can see how this happened - the dryers SHOULD NOT have a Hot/High setting. I walked into groomers yesterday with pics (left mom and dog in car) 8x10 and 5x7 size...many more graphic than the one I posted. The groomer/owner cried...just could not believe it could have happened - totally beside himself...I am sure yesterday was not a good day for him, nor probably today, or tomorrow. Has said he will go above and beyond to pay whatever. I truly believe the person responsible for putting the dog in kennel...had to have seen at some point the setting was high. The dog showed no signs of burn until 2 days, it started getting a little red, she was shaking, wouldnt eat, drink.... - horribly stressed...after reading the Thermal Burn article I understand why. She could very easily have died. My friend is as stressed....and I am trying to keep her calm....but honestly, when I saw it after the bandages came off....I almost passed out. I also need advice to keep her calm thru this (and me)...it's going to be another bad week. Again thanks and keep info coming, I am reading and listening. |

| here is a link for humans and what i want you to look at is nutritional aspect below so scroll down Burns some thing she may want to think about and ask vet are COQ10 CALENDULA COCONUT OIL as that is natural anti-bacterial and antifungal and can be given internally and many of us use this for skin in our dogs fish diet as it has omegas in it like cod so check out that as that may speed up the healing process but obviously discuss all this with the vet or specialist |
