Answer #8

I dropped off my 1.5 year old shitzu female for grooming. She was groomed 6 months before at the same groomer. When I returned I was told she had to stop because Bella was so stressed she burst the blood vessels in both her eyes. I rushed her to the vet. The entire eye was bright red (no white showing). The vet said it was her breed, that if the groomer would have continued her eyes would have popped out. Vet said he would pop the eyes back in. So groomer said she would have to be sedated to be groomed. So I plan to purchase grooming items thru the mail, dog catalog supply.
