Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hi , Thank you for the Welcome. I have always loved working with animals. I've also worked at a couple of vets offices. Are you a big animal lover too? Surely there are groomers in Maine... Anyway, my sisters name is too. She also has scoliosis. Hers was never bad though. She is also going to a chiropractor. It seemed to help her for several years but I think that she is unfortunatly beginning to have neck problems too. Do you have alot of pain with yours? It was nice to meet you. Thank you again for welcoming me to the group.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 YUP big animal fan. Have two dogs, but love all animals, even goats! I used to have a wired haired fox terrier, and i use to cut his hair, give him the eyebrows, and the long beard. It was fun. Most of my dogs have always loved a hair cut. Not the one i have now, he runs, he is a bad little dog anyway. Most people in maine have labs. No need for a hair cut. We have a shihtzu and a schaunzer. > > > > > > Hi Everyone. > > > My name is Liz and I just joined the group a few days ago, > > > thought I would introduce myself. > > > > > > I'm a 37yr old dog groomer that has had to take a few months off > > > from work for a second neck surgery. > > > It has been 8wks since surgery, today. > > > My last dr. appt was last wk > > > and I was told that everything appeared to be healing right on track > > > (this time, so far)... > > > > > > The surgery was for a ruptured cervical disc that was causing spinal > > > stenosis w/ myolapathy.
