Hi all, just wanna ask is there a limit to how short the groomer can shave the sensitive areas of the dog? Such as the belly and private area.

My dog has been feeling very uncomfortable after I sent her for grooming this week, she's in a lot of pain now and has an infection at her private part as well. I'm not sure if it's a cut but my vet say it's most likely a cut due to grooming. She has also been licking and walking very funny for the past few days after grooming. I've stopped her from licking as well.

This is not the first time she was send for grooming. Her last groom was 2 months ago in November at another shop. She was shaved very short that time. She had no issues with her skin the last grooming. This time she develop an infection after 2 days. Is it possible that the groomer trimmed it too short? I have tried a lot of other grooming center but have never experience something like this. When I leave my dog there, I trust that they'll do a good job and know their stuff since they are the professional. I understand some people prefer it to be very botak down under the belly there but I did not request it. All I did was answer "Yes" when the groomer ask me if I wanted to shave her belly.

Please advice.
