Kind of a PSA especially for FURRY dog owners

I took my dog to get groomed last weekend. On Thursday I noticed he was biting at the top of his tail and looked and saw a small wound-called the vet and they could not see him until Sat. I took him and the vet shaved the area and he had a 4 inch raw area. I felt horrible! He must have been so uncomfortable poor baby. The reason was that when he was groomed they did not wash all the soap on him so it irritated his skin. It cost us $175 and of course poor Caden is so pitiful. He is now on 4 pills (antibiotics) plus benadryl 4 a day and i have to wash the area with this solution which he hates-he keeps running away from me.

Awww... Is it a hot spot. Rudy got one last year. So now everytime he comes in from the rain we dry him off really good.

That is one expensive groomer!!

Hope pup is OK soon - my sister's dog (Golden) used to get these all the time.

My friends Rottie gets them a lot...it's good you found it though. If they keep at it, they can create an ulcer which is easily infected.
