my dog passed away getting his nails clipped.

Two days ago my dog passed away while getting his nails clipped. That was one of the things he did not like was getting his nail clipped. He was 7 years old. So I have been going to this place for years, they also have his medical records indicating he has asthma,and gets very nervous. while they were trimming my pekinese nails he was putting on a fight so it took two groomers to hold him. 10 minutes into the nails being clipped he started whizzing so they did not stop. once they finshed he started foaming the groomers just stared rubbing his head and stomach, and I told them if they could do anything else and they said no take him to the vet. They told me the vet was 2 minutes up the road. When I left he was throwing up and getting worse so I went back to the place and pleaded for help so finally one of the groomers took me to the vet. while I was crying and pleading I already knew in my heart my baby was gone. I ran inside with my lifeless dog running inside begging for help. The doctor said we can not do anything he is dead. I just wanted to die right there and then myself. I should have stayed in the park that day where he was enjoying himself running and playing.

I am so sorry,what a awful thing to happen,I feel so bad i had to cry for you.In a time like this all we can do is say i'm sorry.I know it doesn't bring your dog back.I have a 8 year dog and his nails are way to long.Your posting scared me,I'll cut them myself.

I am so sorry for your loss. There are drugs you can get from the vet to partially sedate the dog for grooming. There are the Bach Flower Remedies which help a lot. You can also get a dremel to use at home that actually files them down. You can help a dog like this by handling his feed often. If he sits with you while you are watching TV, just keep handling his feet.
