Or the area could be raw and irritated from the matting. I suggest a visit to the vet! Take care and give her a kiss for me!

The dog's hair (not fur) had been about 5" long. I'm heartbroken and feeling very guilty - trying to console myself with the fact it will grow back. now it seems there is a more serious problem as result of this grooming: the dog stops every three steps to "check" her butt and to lick it - it's been almost non-stop. she is not scooting. She won't play and seems very nervous (very clingy which isn't her usual behavior) and exhausted. do you think the groomer hurt her in some way? could it be razor burn? her anus looks red, and she gets completely freaked out (running back and forth, turning to reach her butt) when she goes to bathroom. I"ve been cleaning the area with baby wipes and applying neosporin antibacterial cream which seems to give her some relief. I have an over-the=counter cortisone cream, do you think I should try that instead? unfortunately, it's a jewish holiday weekend and my vet is out of the office. I've never seem the dog act this way before. she is usually feisty and very playful. now she is either totally preoccupied which her rear end, or sleeping very deeply. thank you for considering my concerns. regards, barbara just read your thoughts on new year’s resolution. wish I had continued doing so - when my dog (an 11 month old maltipoo) went into heat (1st time), she became very fussy and would NOT let me comb her out (a daily bonding ritual for us previously) for 3 weeks. she was matted in several places.
