A PSA for pet owners everywhere: A bad groom can hide something worse.

[Warning: pet death]

My mom called me this morning with some sad news concerning a friend of ours. Her beloved dog Sarge died last night from a sudden illness. Apparently he had become sick following an appointment with a dog groomer. My mom was especially saddened because it reminded her of what happened to our last dog Luffy (he went to a private groomer in March 2014, got sick, and died less than a month later). I got suspicious and started googling. This is the first result I find when searching "why do pets get sick after grooming".

Post-grooming furunculosis is a deep skin infection that occurs rather quickly, usually on the back of dogs (where grooming products are commonly placed). The infection is often due to an organism, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, that is associated with water environments.

The majority of patients feel systemically unwell with lethargy, fever, and sometimes, gastrointestinal signs. These systemic signs develop because of toxins released by the bacteria in the skin.

This is becoming painfully familiar but I look further and find a case study regarding postgrooming furunculosis.

In the largest available review evaluating cases of dorsal furunculosis following grooming and water immersion, systemic signs including lethargy, fever, pain, inappetence and diarrhoea were noted in a number of cases.

I recognize most of these symptoms in Luffy. Unfortunately, we were never able to confirm that he had postgrooming furunculosis before or after his passing.

Please don't hesitate to seek medical attention if your pet seems ill post-grooming. They could very well be, as this pet-owner can attest.

🙏🏽 R.I.P Sarge and Luffy 🙏🏽
