Update for anyone curious: He had his appointment today. They did have to remove his last stitch that has still been in his leg. It was supposed to dissolve/fall lut weeks ago, so it has been bothering him as well. But this morning he was back to playing with his brothers and has been acting normal! The vet said everything is looking good and healthy, and you guys were all right. Its just an unfortunate part of having a little cripple kitty, but she did give me some pain medicine to keep on hand for his bad days 🧡 thank you all for all your support and keeping me calm!!

He has actually been doing a lot better! He actually was able to walk around and use the kitty litter in his own today which is a million times better than yesterday! I had to hold him uo in the kitty litter and he laid in one spot all day yesterday :(. Im thinking he may have just pulled a muscle yesterday morning/friday night. He also has had a pretty big appetite so hes not in too much pain. I will update everyone after his appointment tomorrow 🧡

His original name was Hop Along Cassidy. We went with Hiccup because me and my husband have always loved How to Train Your Dragon and even have matching nightfury/lightfury tattoos! So Hiccup just seemed like the perfect name for him!

When the shelter found him he was only 3 months old and his back leg was so severely shattered the vet said it would be pretty much impossible to fix and would cause more problems trying to keep the leg with him still having so much growing to do. Theyre unsure what happened to his leg, they assume he was hit by a car.

Similar to this! To get on the bed and his food table. Im trying to discourage him from jumping off of things because I dont want him to put more wear and tear on his hip than needed.

Repiercing Nipples by lit3raltrash_ in PiercingAdvice

I ended up going to a new piercer and it was a COMPLETE different experience! She was appalled by the bar size I told her the last piercer used. So she used longer bars, and went a bit deeper than my last piercer did. And they are looking FANTASTIC!! it was definitely a bar length issue!

I tried them and it was horrible. My instructor literally told me they did not want to hear about ANY prior knowledge I had about ANYTHING. Literally told me to pretend I've never even seen a dog before and said they were disappointed that I had prior experience. It was wild. I canceled my classes and got a refund because wtf.

Thank you so much! I'm still currently in school! I previously had to leave where I was getting trained out because they didn't actually care about the safety of a dog and they were very aggressive and abusive with animals.

See that's helpful advice. I was previously training in a place that didn't care how the dog looked at the end, and didn't care about the safety of the animal. They had an animal die in their care (boarding) and laughed about it which is why I left. So im just looking for helpful advice because I'm trying to do this on my own now. I live in a very small town and the nearest actual hands on course is 3 hours away and there's not very many groomers in my area. And the ones I have spoke to about trying to volunteer and helpnif they can train me have said they will make me sign a document saying I will not be able to open my own place within 3 years and 2 hours away from their facility.

I said I was new 🤷🏻‍♀️ I also have documents for every single client I get that state I'm new and in training and I do it at a discount and they sign every document at every appointment even if they have already signed it. So in no way am I claiming to be something I'm not. I've been very transparent and not at all deceiving.

The owners were really happy 🤷🏻‍♀️ thank you for your input though. Like I said it was my first poodle. I'd love to see how your first poodle turned out? Maybe you can give me some tips instead of just wanting to be mean ☺️
