Question
I just had my dog groomed and she is just laying around, not eating and shaking. I belive she might have clipper burns by her neck, it is red and irratated.
I have some burn creme, is there anything else I can do to make here comfortable and heal.

Answer
Hello Vickie.
If the burn cream is meant for the dog and vet prescribed, then yes use it. If not, then you need to go to the vet and get some cream prescribed for your dog. The cream and alot of TLC will help to heal your dog. Make sure you are comforting her, and making her feel "at home". I have also heard that aloe vera gel will help with healing, but if you do have a vet prescribed cream, I would only use that. Don't use more than one product on your dog otherwise it might cause more irritation.
hopefully this was able to help you out. I'm so sorry to hear about your dogs awful grooming experience.
