I took Fozzie, my Golden mix, to the groomers yesterday for shaving and bath. He hates the bath, and won't let me get him into the tub, so I resorted to the groomers. When I went to pick him up, she told me it took two of them to get him into the grooming tub. I don't doubt it, and he is very strong, 75 lb. This morning he woke me up crying. I took him to my vet, and he said a vertebrae had been cracked or hurt. He gave me some pain pills, and said he should get well within a week. I hope so. Vet said sometimes the tail has to be removed!
