Yesterday I took Bromley to the groomer's to get a much needed haircut. I was expecting him to be finished around 5:30, so when the phone rang at 5:20, I was sure it was the groomer's telling me he was ready to be picked up. It was in fact the groomer's, but instead of telling me he was ready, they told me that while he was getting done, his ear "accidentally" got lacerated and they weren't sure if he needed a suture or not, so our vet had been notified and he was on his way there. WHAT? This has never happened before so we were not sure what to do. We called the vet and spoke with the Doctor. He was not actively bleeding, but he was going to require some sutures, so she would like to sedate him to do it, so he would probably need to spend the night. Poor Bromley! She would let us know if there was any problems, but we could pick him up anytime the next day. So after MY doctor's appointment today, we had time to spare, so we came back home and picked him up. We weren't real sure what to expect since his grooming was cut short to go the vet. The vet came out and explained what she did and gave us some antibiotics, pain meds and neosporin type stuff to put on his ear. She had to shave some of the hair to suture it, so he kinda looks like his ear got clipped. Not very attractive and they were working on his head when the "incident" happened, so his face is still long, but his body hair is short. So he sorta looks like a lion with a clipped ear. But he's feeling pretty good and not bothering it too much, so hopefully it will heal well and his hair will cover it soon. We'll see...
