Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bobo. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian if his mouth is not healing. It is odd that a groomer could cause such significant wounds from brushing his teeth. I worry that there is an underlying disease present making his mouth more sensitive. For example, his breed is prone to dental diease. If his gums are sensitive due to gingivitis, this can make them bleed. Based on his exam findings, his veterinarian will make treatment recommendations. He may need to go under anesthesia to have his teeth cleaned. I hope this information helps!
