Little WARNING about Trimmers Be Careful when using your Trimmers - Battery or Electric - if you shave too close ...you can cause Razor Burn... I'm posting this because I just DID this to my baby Chanel. :( :( I've groomed my girls myself for the last 2 years and never done this but I did yesterday. I was trimming Chanels little booty and must have trimmed too close or didn't do it the same as I usually do and she woke up with a really hurting Razor burn on her hiney ! I feel TERRIBLE - I think when she peed it burned the skin & that's when I could see something was hurting her and checked and saw a little Raw Spot - I just wanted to post about it so everyone is careful even with the safest trimmers. Man I feel so bad - I put a little Neosporin Pain Relief Cream on it and that helped - but watch those trimmers so this doesn't happen to you. I was very gentle and still don't know HOW I did it - but I did ...and she has a sore little booty because of me today.:( |
Awwww poor Chanel. Vaseline would be good also V it will coat the booty area so when she does pee it won't get into the redness. I groomed Buddy all last winter using the trimmers. I was a wreack the first few times. I had my SIL show me how to use them. I was afraid of taking off his you know what:p Feel better sweetie, Mommy didn't mean it. Thanks for the reminder V. |
Awwwww, poor baby. Tell her Meiah is sharing her pain :( I just did it too the other day. Shaving her belly (as she fell to sleep in my lap while I was doing it) Just alittle, but I had no idea it happened! There was no mark there at all. A day later there a little bit of scabbing and she was licking it. So I know what you mean!!!!! I felt sooo bad too!!!! |
I did that too to poor Roxy 'p-private' area... I felt so bad. She went a whole day b/c I couldn't get her to the Vet. She was 'scooting' around the WHOLE house 24/7. On the title, the hardwood floor, the rugs. And she was SO MAD too - she would make these grunting noises. Oh, I felt horrible! I took her to the Vet and he rubbed her down with something, gave her a shot and gave me some antihistamines for her, OH and a BILL for $70 :eek: ...LESSON LEARNED HERE ;) |
Oh Vee - Been there done it..felt so bad:( . Bagbalm which you can get at just about any drugstore is great. It was invented for dried cow udders but people fell in love with it for their hands. I like it because if the dogs lick it, it won't harm them.:) |

I'm going to go get some of that - the neosporin seems to only work for a short time and I can't find any vasaline - :( :( |
Vee I did this with Isabelle once. :( I was shaving her little hiney and it bled a tiny bit. Only for a second, but I felt SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad. I've never shaved that close to the hiney hole again. :( |
Ouch! That has got to hurt! Poor Chanel :( . You know what might be soothing on it is some tucks pads or witch hazel in a cotton ball (which is what is in tucks). |
Did that before too but not on her tusch...thats why i cant do it, afraid of hurting them. Poor Chanel, i bet she will think twice before she will tell ya : Have at it Mom ! Rosi and Apollo sending heal fast kisses ! |

Poor little Chanel. I'm sure she forgives her mommy. Don't worry, she'll be ok. Maybe try putting a little vaseline on her booty. Give her kisses from me!! |
Poor Chanel!!!! Sissy feels her pain as this mommy has done that too!!! |

Don't be mad at yourself! Remember, dogs love unconditionally. Could you imagine if she were a real human teenager? She wouldn't be speaking to you for weeks! LOL But our pups...forgive and forget in 30 seconds! That's why we love them so! :p |
Here is the website which explains that it is also an antiseptic and helps heal. Hopefully you have seen these tins and it lasts a long time. I am a big believer of this product for the kids and myself.:p http://www.bagbalm.com |

and thanks everyone else...I posted this so people wouldn't do what I just did but you guys are so sweet .... if Chanel could say thank you she would... but she only knows how to say "Mama" and "I want my Treat" :D I still feel terrible though. |
:D P.S. I don't use this stuff on MY dried out old utters but when I get a cut or my hands are very dried out. Also will put it on my feet with socks, messy yes but it does the trick and it is fairly cheap and will last forever. I miss everyone also but life has been so busy and the gang has taken up a lot of my time - little devils..:p |

Question ...so I have it right - do we have Udders or Utters ?? :D :D Man I really HAVE missed you - that was classic Cindy:D |
V - I just posted in another thread to be sure to check the blade temp when trimming. I didn't know that the blade could get so hot. :eek: Petsmart sells a product in a spray can located near the trimmers that you can spray on the blade periodically to keep it from getting hot. It really works and my babies no longer get burnt. Next time you trim, you might want to touch the blade with your finger to check the temp. You'd be surprised. I was soooo glad that a groomer told me. |
awww poor little baby, i hope she feels better soon... v- its ok it was an accident... give her lots of treats today and hugs and kisses |
Oh poor little doll. I overtrimmed Cali's ear the other day and it started to bleed and the skin was bumpy. I felt so bad. |
There are two ways to get clipper burn, one is to have hot clippers. Be sure to check the temp of the clipper on your arm or with your finger to make sure the blades have not heated up. There are cooling sprays you can buy to keep this in check. 2nd and most important clipper burn can be caused by the angle you set the blade to the skin. The clipper should be parallel to the skin, if you tip the clipper to much you will be placing the teeth against the skin and it can dig in a bit and cause clipper burn. The clippers should never touch the anal area, just set them gently down on either side of the anus. And then some dogs skin is just very sensitive and maybe a longer blade length is best. But remember, a longer blade has more open teeth and can cut skin easier. If you find yourself hurting your dog to often maybe it is best left to a professional. |
i did that to kayko once alittle diaper rash cream and its all better the next day now when im buzzing them i touch the buzzer a few times to make sure its not getting hott |
