ddnene I worked at petco for a little bit (quit because the manager was horrendous and they didn't give me hours..never could get on at petsmart) and the only training I know about are for the individual reps that come in and teach about their specific foods...such as that nutritional balance or...
I tried turning to get a job at Petsmart for years..not even in the salon part. I have a ton of knowledge of animals. I never did get why they wouldn't hire me lol

This is the range of motion exercise I did with Delilah. They explain this well in the video. This and the icing along with tissue massage are so important. Trying to find a massage video.
Re: Swelling after TPLO?
Thanks for clarifying. This one website was saying they were different.
The icing is really very important. It sucks but you have to do it. I wrapped a pack in a towel and held it on Delilah.
Are you massaging the leg? It helps to move the fluid and help the muscles.
I'm a groomer and I assure you, we aren't all morons.
Any groomer that uses a heat dryer is. I never have and never will. There is just no need. More bad things can happen than what it's worth.
Dogs should always be towel dried then blow dried the best you can depending on their behavior...
Re: Swelling after TPLO?
My dog had the ACL surgery, not the CCL. I didn't know about CCL just had to Google it lol.
My girl has terrible back legs. Luxating patella in both and arthritis. She's 6 this year.
Re: Swelling after TPLO?
My dog had that same surgery and hers never looked that bad. Draining from the sutures is not normal. I'd call the surgeon asap. Not trying to scare you, but that just doesn't look normal at all to me. I work in a clinic.
Delilah's leg was somewhat swollen but not bad...
