Need Advice
 

Hi all.

I was wondering if you could help me out with my Macy Girl.

She was groomed last Sunday, the 20th. After the grooming, she started acting funny when it came to going potty. She would pee and then run right back inside to sit in a corner. She did this all day Sunday and then some on Monday. We thought maybe she had some kind of razor burn on her gential area.

The rest of week she was fine. Yesterday when she woke up and was put on the floor, she ran and hid under my bed. It took a while for her to come out, but when I did, I took her outside to potty and then she was fine after that and rest of day. No problems.

Today when Macy woke up this morning, she was completely fine. She ate well and everything. Around noon I noticed she started to act funny again, so I took her outside to potty. She went and then ran right back inside to sit in a corner. I took her right back outside to see if she needed to go more. She did and then was fine after that. I just now took her outside and she was fine.

There is no blood or anything that may be concerning. She is eating very good, drinking, playful and hyper. When it comes to potty, she seems a bit different.

What do you think this could be?

Thanks for all your help. Thanks.

Groomer
 

Poor baby girl.
Perhaps something happened at the groomer and she was scolded for peeing there? Some groomers can scare our babies, I have sometimes had weird behavior after grooming. Perhaps you could ask the groomer if anything happened? Hope she gets over it soon.

If I were you, I'd inspect her her vulva/lady parts to see if something was nicked by a clippers or scissors.

But if this continues, you really do need to have her checked for a UTI, which would cause burning when peeing....very painful.

Did they shave her bum ? if yes then this could be the problem as if the hair is too short on the bum it can cause irritation & poking around the anus. A sure sign of this is jerking around looking at the bum area, running from the bum & suddenly planting there bum down often & sometimes frantically. This can also be symptoms of full anal glands.

OR being hurt when the groomer evacuated the anal glands if this was done improperly. Suggest having her checked by the vet to be certain this is not the case.

Thank you all so much for your advice. You have no idea how much I really appreciated that. I took Macy Girl to the vet Monday and it turned out to be infected anal sacs. She has been on medicine for it and seems to be doing much better!

I noticed that she started itching her back left leg the other day. It was a very small bump with black dot. Today I checked it again and noticed that it had started bleeding. She is eating and drinking great, playful and hyper. Should I be concerned?

I've attached two photos so you can see what I'm talking about. It is honestly not as red as it seems in the photos.
