Recently, I have had some problems bring my Yorkies to groomers. It's not that I don't like my groomers, actually I love them, but my little dogs have had some issues, and I am not sure if it might have happened when they were getting a haircut.
First, my little one got a scratched cornea that couldn't heal. I first noticed her squinting after a trip to the groomer. Did it happen there? I really can't say. After many trips to the Vet, I finally had to have her see a specialist and they she went through a procedure under anesthesia for her eye to recover.
My other Yorkie has infected ears, filled with hair--which was supposed to be pulled out on his last grooming which was done at the Vet's office. Could the infection be from from water in the ears during grooming? I don't know--but maybe it's time to learn how to do it myself.
Here are some videos to help you if you have come to the same conclusion.
**To prevent injury to your pet, I would suggest using round tipped scissors untill you develop the confidence and expertise you need to safely groom your dog.
