I took him in for a shave, and he came back with a large patch of bright red skin in his armpit (like 3 inches) that is still healing 3 weeks later. It didn't seem to hurt or to have broken the skin, but he licks it constantly so it is bothering him. He's normally extremely docile, and even though I'm sure he was upset during the shaving they really should know how to deal with that. that's why I brought him there -- I could have carved him up myself1
Cons: Bright red, exposed skin -- still healing
