Help! What can I do with my beloved dog?

I think your dog will be alright, but if you are really worried, take her to the vet. It's a bad idea to shave a dog just because the weather will be hot. Don't ever do it again. Dogs have evolved over thousands of years to deal with the weather without being shaved. When your dog's tongue is hanging out and dripping that's because that's how dogs regulate their body temperature. They don't sweat as we do, instend they pant. They are using their tongue to do the heat exchange that we accomplish with our skin and our sweat glands. Take your dog to the vet, and then never, ever shave your dog again.

Dont shave your dog. having there tounge hang out is normal if its so hot put it in front of an air conditioner if the hair is getting long trim it DO NOT SHAVE DOG!!

Yeah, I feel very sad and regret.

She'll be fine. Her hair will grow back. Of course you did it in her best interest. A lot of people shave their dogs and the dogs behave fine. There are some dogs that have double coats and should never be shaved but poodles only have a single layer. Many of them are groomed with the shorn hair and poms. We shaved ours in the summer every year (we were very far south with high humidity) and she lived a wonderful, long and happy life - and didn't seem to mind being shaved at all.

I am with Set. If the dog is depressed and not eating then take her to the vet. I think it is just a coincidence that it happened after she got shaved. But it could just be a personality thing. Best to make sure she is healthy. If she is, then you now know she doesn't like to be shaved. I am sure she is going to be just fine!

If this is the same puppy you mentioned in another thread, and she is only 2 months old, she is too young for trips to a dog groomer. She hasn't yet developed enough immunity to be spending time around other dogs, or in places where other dogs are kept--she is still too susceptible to contracting canine diseases before she has completed all of her puppy shots. And young poodle puppies still have a very fine silky puppy coat that should not be shaved down. Having a long coat is normal for a puppy that age, and the dog will not feel warmer if her coat is left long--dogs do not perspire through their skin, they cool their bodies down by panting. Just make sure your puppy has lots of fresh water to drink if the weather is warm and don't let her get over-heated, she is still a very young puppy.

You obviously seem to want to take good care of your puppy, but I'm not sure you know how to do that. I suggest you get a good book on puppy care that will guide you and help you to better understand the stages of a puppy's life and how you can best care for them at each stage. And I'd also suggest that you get a book about poodles so you understand their rather unique grooming needs and how you can best take care of those needs, and so you can learn how and when poodle puppies should be groomed and how you can care for their coat on a daily basis, what types of brushes you should use, how often to brush them, etc.

You should take the puppy to the Vet if she is not acting normally. It is not normal for a puppy to stop eating or drinking. Puppies do not worry about their "image" or how they look, but the dog may feel physically uncomfortable, or she may be ill, or the experience at the groomer may have been very frightening for her. You need to take her to see the Vet. And you do need to read and learn about proper poodle puppy care.
