These days you cannot just trust any person to watch over your fur babies. Many places do not require any certification to become a groomer. Due to this, many pets have gotten hurt while under the supervision of these strangers.
Jill Ross from Union, Kentucky was left devastated after their beloved 12-year-old pet named Harley returned home from the groomer with both legs paralysed and could no longer walk on his own, reports I Heart Dogs. The groomer remained persistent that they had nothing to do with it and are refusing to help the family in any way.
Accident or a slight misunderstanding, the world would appreciate it if a little information was shared regarding the incident. An innocent dog currently is suffering and needs all the help he can get.
The canine was prescribed anti-inflammatory tablets but unfortunately, it didn’t help with Harley’s situation, according to I Love Lots Of Pets.
The dog was rushed to the nearest vet, after waking up completely paralaysed. An x-ray followed by other tests determined that Harley had a damaged disc in his back, which needed surgery.
The family had hopes that the grooming salon would cover some of the costs, but it may not happen. The grooming salon manager confirmed that Harley had a pre-existing back condition prior to the groom visit, so they do not believe that anything was done while Harley was in their care.
There is not enough information to support what happened. Harley is doing well, but will need to learn how to walk all over again. His family is doing everything they can to make life as normal and fun as possible for him. Other dog parents are advised to always be vigilant for any suspicious behaviour between their groomer and the pet.
