| I want to just repeat what every one else here has said...I'm so sorry your little one had to experience that! However...my first thoughts when I saw the photo of the raw area was an "allergic reaction" to the adhesive on the tape used to secure the bandage. That is exactly what that looks like on a human patient who comes in contact with an allergic agent in the "tape". So, before jumping to conclusions about the Vet's skills...it IS possible that this is something that your Yorkie just happens to be allergic to. I would definitely make sure this is known to any future Vet's you may go to and make sure it's documented in the medical records to prevent this from occurring again especially after any future surgeries. Again...to me, it looks like a severe allergic reaction to the "tape".

| terrible I would have been livid. Nobody and I mean "NOBODY" hurts my dog. That is completely uncalled for and I would find another vet immediately. Even if they apply that kind of tape (which they should not have done), they should be able to get it off without hurting the animal. There are safe solvents that will remove the glue and release the hair. |

| I understand people being alarmed at what your babies belly looked like but, believe me if this is an "ALLERGIC" reaction to an adhesive bandage...it's nobodies fault. Let's even say...for instance her dog went in for any other reason and needed a bandage even to hold an iv in place...this still could still have happened. All I'm saying is even tho' most spay & neuters do not require a bandage and one was applied in this case...it is more than likely a reaction to the sticky adhesive on the back of the tape. If you google images of allergic reactions to adhesive bandages...you'll see what I'm talking of. This happens to humans all the time and I know this from personal experience...-

| I would never think of getting Ella spayed, unless it was for a health reason but that just seems totally wrong what they did to your poor little girl. It doesn't seem that a vet w/ their knowledge would do something that was going to rip her skin off. Geez. I am sorry that this happened. I do agree that you should get a new vet.

| It is possible that it could have been an allergic reaction, but I see that happening on people with very sensitive skin. Thin skin can rip of with the adhesive and trust me a yorkies belly looks very sensitive to me. They might just be used to bigger dogs that don't have that problem. If there are any types of blisters then I would go with the allergy part but that looked like rip skin to me. I think the sensible thing to use as a dressing would be dermabond, if not reg 4+4's with paper tape or any other bandage for sensible skin will have done it.

By anyway, I think the vet/vet tech should have at least use some lotion/alcohol/anything to help removing the adhesive tape, I don't know..I'm not a doctor, I don't know if it's Ok to remove adhesive tape using lotion on sensitive skin

| Hugs and kisses to your poor sweet girl, I hope she feels better. I also think an allergic reaction I get similar symptoms from the adhesive on bandages. |

| Updates I just took this photo, I'm very surprised Sugar's healing pretty fast! I guess the antiseptic helps a lot.. Thank you for all the concerns for once again And I would like to thank Mom to Hot Rod for offering a soft collar for Sugar's future surgery usage (Sugar has hernia...I really hope there's no 2nd surgery needed), Thank you! Sugar and I are very happy to know all of you
