Okay, here's what happened:
I took my dog out for grooming this morning to the dog groomer that I've been taking my dog to for last 2 years. So while the groomer was cutting my dog's fur around the stomach area, I guess she was distracted or something, and she accidentally gave my dog a cut - as my dog's skin was cut instead. Of course I flipped out, thinking that she has killed my dog (my dog let out a sharp yelp). I took a look at the cut, and thankfully it wasn't very serious - My dog had very limited bleeding as the cut was only skin deep (a rather large patch of skin, actually, about the size of a penny). I panicked and took my dog to nearby vet, and she got stitched up and she's very woozy from anesthesia right now.
The groomer offered to pay for the surgery at this point. And I'm wondering if I should take any more action. Several advices from my friends included suing the person - but I figure that would be too extreme.
My parents insist on getting extra money out of this - and I disagreed as I felt that it was an accident and groomer seem like a nice person.
Now I'm depressed as my dog is wobbling around, still dizzy from anesthesia.
Am I doing too little by just letting her to pay for the surgery only?
