I don't know if Ginger has razor burn from the groomer or its just because she scratches and scratches and makes it sore but when she came home I checked and she was ok and now she has a cluster of hard skin like almost little scabs on the side of her face. She sratches so much - I put olive oil on but then she rubs it off on the couch. Has anyone experienced this - do you think its the groomer? It never happens when I do her myself but I use #10 andis on the face. Is that the closest? Do you think the groomer uses a closer shave maybe? :moneymouth:

well she is a mess now! terrible sores and scabs - I'm not taking her there again - this is the second time - she mus't care if blade is hot - my poor baby. Using neosporin as someone suggested but the bag balm is a good idea too. Will try to get some. Its even smelly now. I washed with peroxide and used the neosporin. I think I will try some vitamin e oil too until I get the bag balm.

thank you all for advice - Siv what is Metho?

It doesn't smell today - all i have in the house is vit E and A and D ointment. My daughter may have some of the baby cream - I will ask her. I think if the itch goes she will stop scratching it and it can heal. This never happens when I groom her but happened both times she went to this groomer. She owns her own shop so I could call her.

do you think benydryl cream would help?

Thanks for all the advice. I did call the vet and they told me to use the cortaid cream and to wash with antibacterial soap first. It seems to have stopped the itching thank the Lord! Just about to wash her up now.
