Hi everyone. I took Storm,Sky, and Ziggy Stardust to the groomers on Sat. morning for their annual lion cuts. Unfortunately it was just too stressful for them so this will be the last time that they get lion cuts.
The groomers give out report cards about the animals and Storm was good but did resist, Ziggy was good probably because she was scared to death, and Sky was a little terror and tried to bite everyone so they said that he'll need tranquilizers in the future.
I dropped them off at 10am and they said that they'd be ready at 4pm. They were actually ready at 3:20pm so I left a little after that to go get them. It wasn't as busy there since it was a holiday weekend which was what I was hoping for but they were all very stressed out. On the way home I smelled something awful. I always put puppy pee pads in the carriers in case of accidents. I thought that one of them had peed on the way home but I was wrong.
I brought Storm and Ziggy upstairs to my condo and let them out and Storm started hissing at everyone which is actually a normal reaction for him. I then went back downstairs and when I got Sky I noticed a horrible odor. I didn't see anything and I let him out of his carrier when we got back to my condo. I looked closer and he had pooped in the carrier and had managed to push it under the base part that clips to the bottom of the carrier. It was smashed in between. Luckily it wasn't diarrhea but it was still a big mess.
Today Sky has been having sneezing attacks and it's probably because he either got so stressed out yesterday or something at the groomers may have caused this. He's still on 5mg of pred and his other medicine at night for his asthma attacks and he's been doing great until today. Tomorrow I'm supposed to start him on 2.5mg of pred in the mornings which I'm still going to do. I just hope that this sneezing doesn't continue or get worse. Ziggy has also been growling and hissing at both of her brothers so she's still stressed out too. This groomer trip just wasn't worth it and now I wish that I had never taken them. I'll post some pictures of everyone in the next post.
