I had a large lab mix on Saturday. He had gotten surgery a couple of weeks early and I was taking him down with a #10(wahl competition series?). Keep in mind that hes a very large dog and there was a lot of surface area. I was going down his left thigh, and notice a ... gash. Its the size of my pinky nail, and it looks so deep.It wasnt pouring blood, but there was blood. I call my salon manager, because I freak out. She takes him to the vet. The vet confirms that its too fresh and it had to have been done during the groom. I dont know what I did. I didnt feel anything catch. I was going slow, because his undercoat was packed and I wanted to have a smooth finish.( Because of the surgery, the owner didnt want him bathed.)
I was worried that there might be a problem with my blade, even though my blade is less than a month old. The salon manager has to finish the groom and she tells me that she is having to go extra slow because her blade keeps getting caught. She says that there is something in the dogs skin in some areas that keeps getting caught.
Its hard to explain, but I was shaving down a husky once, and it felt like there was something under the dogs skin that kept catching on my blade. I assume thats what happened here. Is that even possible? What is this that im feeling? And does anyone know what im talking about?
[The end of the story involving the lab is that the vet glued it. We called the owner to let them know. Talked to his wife. She said it was fine. When the man came in she had not told him. He was furious. He yelled at the salon manager and at the vet. He demanded that the salon manager fire me. He said he could tell from the beginning that I was incompetent and that he felt like I didnt want to work there.I was obviously not professional enough to do his dog. I wasnt even the one who talked to him, I was the one that took his dog to the kennel. Since I wasnt there, this was all told to me yesterday]
