<p>Hi all, </p>
<p>I had a quick question about grooming. We take our Einstein in about once a month for a grooming just to keep from smelling too "dog like". He sleeps with us (I know... bad parents, spoiling the little one) and the smell just gets a bit unbearable after a while. We have only taken him to the big chain pet stores for grooming which has been perfectly fine for half a year, but the last few times we have taken him he has developed crusty bumps and look almost like dried blood…</p>
<p>Hi all, </p>
<p>I had a quick question about grooming. We take our Einstein in about once a month for a grooming just to keep from smelling too "dog like". He sleeps with us (I know... bad parents, spoiling the little one) and the smell just gets a bit unbearable after a while. We have only taken him to the big chain pet stores for grooming which has been perfectly fine for half a year, but the last few times we have taken him he has developed crusty bumps and look almost like dried blood all over his back and neck. I did take him to the vet the first time and the vet put him on some antibiotics for a week but the last time it happened I didn't and they cleared up on their own after about a week and a half. We thought that maybe the groomer was brushing him too hard or something so we asked for a new groomer (who is also Einstein's trainer and very fond of him) and the bumps have surfaced again though there are significantly less. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if you have any shampoos that you recommend. I'm pretty sure they were using a sensitive shampoo since we told them about the bumps but I really don't know what is being used for sure.</p>
<p>As for Ein, he does get a little mopey the day before the bumps surface but after doesn't seem to mind them (no itching or excessive licking). They just come off in clumps with his hair. Grossly it has become a sort of obsession with my husband to pull them out after they moved away from the skin. </p>
<p>Any help would be appreciated!! </p>
