Emergency dog problem!!!?

I picked up my 2 year old yorkie from the groomers at PETSMART. Shes been acting really wierd and when we clap our hands or reach to pet her she runs to her bed. She also is licking and biting her chest/neck area. her fur is plasterd to her skin in a nickel sized area. We cant get her into the vet till tommarow!!! HELP PLEASE!!!

Emergency dog problem!!!?
OMG something happened. I'm glad you're going to the vet tomorrow. Let PetSmart know how your dog was after you picked her up. Just keep her calm tonight and let her know you love her. Poor little girl. Please let us know what the vet says. Take care;~(
Reply:Did you try cleaning the area that's matted to see if there's anything there? She might have a spider bite or something there, or maybe she got injured somehow at the groomers in that spot.
Reply:something is wrong there you really need to find out what happend at the groomers and if they did something wrong to your dog on purpose SUE THERE@$$E$
Reply:I have been grooming for almost ten years and I've heard nothing but bad things about PetsMart's groomers. The fur that is plastered to her sounds like a matt which is tangled fur that is extreamly painful. Next time take her to a private groomer. PetsMart's groomers are told to groom the dog as fast as they can, and are typically rough on the dog. Sounds like she had a really bad experiance. I'm really really sorry! Sometimes the cheaper way is the worst way!
Reply:Sounds like she may have a mat that is very close to the skin, or she possibly could have been nicked by a clipper.





I wouldn't panic if I were you - just take her to the vet tomorrow and go from there. In the meantime you could try putting some aloe gel, or an anti-itch spray on the area to keep her comfortable.
Reply:Sometimes a dog will have a hot spot or something that is not evident until the dog has been groomed. It is also possible that somehow the dog was injured while at the Groomer's. A good groomer is going to SEE that something is wrong and point it out to you, whether they did it or it was something pre-existing. I'd take your dog back to that PetSmart and ask to speak to the Store Manager and explain what happened with your dog when you got her home.


They should have the Vet at their store check your dog at their expense and if it was even POSSIBLY caused by the groomer, they should cover Vet costs and reimburse you for the grooming. I'd say even it it was pre-existing, the groomer should have pointed it out to you! That was bad practice.


There are some good groomer's at PetSmart and some that aren't good. Get to know the groomer you like and stick with that one. I am a former Groomer that worked in a private shop and have had some excellent grooming done for my dogs by some PetSmart groomers and I make sure to request them or someone they recommend if they aren't available. I mostly groom my own dogs though, but on occasion I like to have someone else do it.
Reply:Sounds to me like she got nicked with the razor, and the groomer tried to cover it up. My daughter worked at a kennel, and witnessed a groomer cut a dog by accident, smack it on the nose with a brush when it snapped at her, then put a dab of superglue on the wound to close it. And of course, the groomer never told the pet owners that they had injured the dog. Or wacked it with a brush. (When my daughter's protests to the boss went unheeded, she quit,...)





Give her lots of love and approval, as it was pro'lly traumatic for her, and just leave it be for now. For one night, it will be o.k., and the vet will be able to help.





Poor puppers,...
Reply:NOT an emergency!!!!

Just "clipper burn"-NOT real heat-just MINOR skin irritation.
