Okay guys, need some help!
I sold a Beagle puppy to some great people last December. He turned 6 months last Wednesday and went to the vet for a hernia repair and a neuter. He did have an undescended testicle, which they were able to locate near a kidney. This procedure took an hour to do. Towards the end of the surgery, he stopped...

Random Bichon Observation
I am a groomer by trade, a terrible perfectionist. I can count on my hand the number of times I've ever let my bichons air dry after a bath. Today though, They got chicken grease on thier heads (don't ask LOL, no it was not hot, just drippy) so I had to wash them. I did not have time to blow...

I took her to the vet and to my surprise, she let him examine her foot and leg with no wincing, no problem....
