Poodle has scabs on neck/back after grooming. Clipper burn or serious?

Question

After my poodle got groomed recently i noticed he has these small scabs on back of neck and on his back, I'm not sure what it is and im wondering maybe the groomers accidently grazed him with Clippers? Just want some advice to make sure it's nothing serious your help is much appreciated. Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Poodle | Male | unneutered | 10 lbs

Poor guy. It does look like these are scabs due to possible trauma to the skin. If the groomer didn't notice these during the groom, we have to assume they were caused at the groomer. I would have your vet take a look at these areas closely as they likely will need a short course of antibiotics to fully resolve. There is also "hot spot" spray available at your local pet store that MAY resolve this skin infection as an alternative. I hope that Cookie's skin heals up well soon! Best of luck and take care.
