Red Testicles after grooming

[Lou W]

My dogs were clipped on Monday it's the 3rd time they have been. Although one poor thing has come back with very shaven testicles- ouch. He's not happy as they must itch and are now quite red. The other dog is fine.

Should I just leave him alone for a couple of days whilst his fur regrows?? I don't want to put anything on them that will make it worse.

Ask the groomer what restraint method they use when clipping your dogs, that may explain the red bits.

Clipper burn can be relieved by some aloe vera gel - which is cooling as well as healing; poor chap, I wonder why the groomer used the clippers there?

wot Rachel said and if you don't have any aloe gel, you could always use Sudocrem (my cure-all  )

Thanks for all the advice.

Oscar is feeling much better now- thankfully. No more red or itching.

If a dog is particularly hairy between his back legs knots can form either side of the testicles, and the safest way to remove them is to use clippers.

Think my balls would be red if someone had used the clipper on them to OUCH 

Dont worry he will be fine. As people have said put a bit of lube errr cream on them lol.
