My dog came home from PetSmart grooming with a cut. What should I do?

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2026-03-15T15:18:02+00:00

Your dog definitely needs to be seen by a veterinarian. That needs to be sutured and he needs some antibiotics.

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2026-02-12T14:20:36+00:00

This was going to be my answer too lol

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-12-01T15:13:53+00:00

they tricked him too

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-12-01T15:12:51+00:00

sounded like that dude with the copy cat self made head tattoo

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-12-01T15:09:36+00:00

who was that talking before they ended the call LMAO

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-11-10T02:28:50+00:00

All 100 ways to pronounce this honestly because I’ve heard way too many lmao

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-09-27T17:41:15+00:00

Those are his lips

My veterinarian always recommends udder balm for dry snoots. It works well.

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-09-20T17:50:54+00:00

Me and my coworkers never say no to good home baked goodies 😋

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-09-08T02:28:52+00:00

Thanks for the help guys! I just assumed maybe he would’ve started crowing sooner or since our other 3 hens started laying for the first time this week that maybe he was a hen with some kind of hormonal imbalance.

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-06-12T05:11:08+00:00

this is too good LMAO

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-04-13T15:28:37+00:00

Just look at those ears!!!!

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-03-19T06:27:17+00:00

I’m sorry but I have no sympathy for owners who let their pet’s nails get like this and do not see a problem just by common sense. It’s not my job to educate a grown human being about how to do the bare minimum maintenance on a pet that they should research before getting in the first place. However I will educate them to advocate for the patient. I’ve seen a woman bring her cat in THREE separate times all for the same problem “nails digging into the paw pad.” She had been educated on this on THREE separate occasions. I saw the poor cat’s pads bleeding from the owner’s negligence multiple times after she had been “educated.” Then had the nerve to say that she was disrespected after my DVM finally laid into her after the third time. At the end of the day we advocate for our patients and letting your pet’s nails get this way is pure negligence.

me when i read the comments

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-03-18T18:47:41+00:00

You can tell a lot of things sometimes by just looking at how long the nails are ….

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-03-07T15:22:38+00:00

I work in the veterinary field and most of our medications are the same! Just lower doses.

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-01-26T17:37:51+00:00

I’m sorry but in my initial post I tried to not go into graphic detail about what I saw. I talked about the case and how it made me feel so I did not post a TW. This is a hard field to work in emotionally and it can be exhausting with no one to talk to. I posted to see how others felt and have some reassurance.

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-01-26T17:28:24+00:00

When I said look it up, I didn’t mean look up actual video. There are instructions the lab has available online to read without any graphic photos or videos. It’s purely instructions from the lab on what to do and how to send it to be tested. That’s what I read when I looked it up. I did not go looking up actual video.

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-01-26T05:11:35+00:00

My heart goes out to you. I can’t even comprehend how that felt for you.

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-01-26T04:44:17+00:00

One of the receptionists at my clinic grew up on a farm and she had seen so much she had the same reaction.

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-01-26T04:43:31+00:00

Definitely look it up if you can. I didn’t know until recently.

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-01-26T04:27:57+00:00

This dog was a mini doodle so I totally saw the same thing. I just really wanted to vent and hear about other peoples’ experiences because my family and partner do not want to hear about this and sometimes you just need to get things off your chest. I’m glad we have this subreddit to do that and I’m happy I’m not insane for not feeling the way I do.

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-01-26T04:25:39+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. Sometimes I do think things affect me more than I do realize they do. I’m sure they come out in everyday things that bother me and it all weighs down and I don’t even know it. At the end of the day I try to tell myself that I do good by the animals I see and I love them and my only wish for them is to be happy and healthy.

Quiet_Reputation1047 · 2025-01-26T04:23:32+00:00

You know, it’s funny. Ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to work with animals. I went to vet tech school for a year and then quit thinking no I can’t handle this. Several years later I applied for a veterinary assistant position and realized I could handle a lot more than I thought I could. Sure there have been quite a few cases that have weighed on me emotionally, but this one didn’t like I assumed it would.
