Slightly a stretch for your blog maybe, but how about first aid for the groomer accidents that happen. I k now I am always cutting myself, and bites, scratches scrapes all need first aid and many people don;t know what to do when the groomer accidentaly cuts off the very tip of their finger......don;t ask how I know that.<a href="http://www.groomwise.typepad.com/grooming_smarter" target="_blank">My Blog</a> The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. –Mark Twain

Oh, yeah, and when I was at a vet's the lead tech would not wrap the ears on a matted Maltese I did so they would not swell after I shaved them. Thee owner refused to believe I did not harm her dog and never came back. Could you please teach us how to wrap them?"We are all ignorant--we merely have different areas of specialization."~Anonymous

Thanks for the ideas.
I have wanted to do something on groomer safety for awhile. I will also plan to do something on ear injuries including care and wrapping.
SMP- the only problem with any puncture wound is that is closes and the bacteria stay trapped. that can cause serious problems. any puncture wound, no matter how minor, should be seen by a vet.Certified Master Pet Tech Pet CPR, First Aid and Care Instructor

Torsion/bloat if you can't get to the vet right away, or before getting to the vet.
We were at a show in Utah, and being from Nevada, didn't know where to take my friends Belgian Shepherd. The vet said if we had "passed" a tube the dog would have had a better chance. I had heard of this having Borzoi, but we were not prepared.If you sweat the small stuff, all you have is small soggy stuff.....
