Dog Advice? WWYD?

So today I had my dogs groomed and because they're getting pretty old 13 and 14 I decided to shell out the cash for a mobile groomer ($100/dog) for a wash and trim.

Anyways long story short. She arrived and seemed to be a dog person so I trusted her and let her groom the first dog who isn't nearly as unruly as my second. Everything went well with the first one. The second one HATES being groomed and at the old groomer we used to use they would always muzzle him. I informed her that he needs to be muzzled... (He's got dog cancer, had both of his ACL's torn and operated on, had surgery for cherry eye on both eyes and has random seizures due to the cancer) She chose not to muzzle him, said everything went perfect until like 95% of it and she thought she was going to be the first groomer in the 14 years of his life that didn't need to muzzle him. Anyways. She went to trim his paws and he apparently turned into a very unhappy aggressive dog and nipped her once on the finger but got her pretty good.

My dogs never bitten anyone before except me when I tried to pick him up when he was sleeping... Should I be concerned? I don't want my dog to get put down when he has so little life left anyways.

Also, they're American cockers so they're not a large dog by any means and the puncture wound was quite small.

Alot of the dogs bites I've come across are cockers.

If you want my truthful opinion, every dog in my life (either mine or my dads) that has ever nipped anyone has been shot within the hour. If it was mine it would be a .25 problem. But it's your dog, do what you think is right.

So you guys get a new dog every few months??

No, most dogs don't bite people if raised properly (aside from play but that is a different ball of wax) a bite or even a nip out of agression or fear is an automatic trip one way trip outside.

Apparently she picked up a paw with a pretty big bump on it (Which I informed her was there and he was touchy about) and he had at it. Otherwise he was an angel throughout his grooming which actually really surprises me as he hates baths and the clipper noise.

So an old pup with cancer and an injury put in a strange position means it wasn't raised properly?

You trap me and push on an injury I'm gonna come unspooled too.

Yeah. Most dogs. Glad I'm not one of your disposable dogs.

ETA: There are only a handful of people in this world who's life I value more than my dogs.

Wow! That is the most insensitive and idiotic remark that I have come across in a while. Either someone took a royal piss in your Cheerios this morning or you just get your jollies of unnecessarily trolling other people's posts.

Yeah i hear ya. We did the same thing to my aunt her last month. Kept pissing her bed and puking up blood. Bang, adios auntie! Damn i hate cancer, throws a wrench in to your life. How selfish of them.
