Trigger warning: small injury to a dog.
For some reason every morning when I wake up I feel very nauseous for about an hour, today was no different so I got dressed and I went to work. I am a bather at a grooming salon. By the time I got there my stomach mostly felt better but as I look back on it, my thoughts were like jumbled. Like it felt like I was thinking 7 things at the same time so none of them made any sense. It was time to start on my first dog so I grabbed the clippers and began trimming the nails. First nail was fine but the second nail I went a little bit too deep and hit the quick (blood vessel). I grabbed the powder we use for when this happens and began tending to the nail as my boss came over to see what happened. I got this overwhelming feeling that I was about to throw up so I tried to tell my boss so she could stay with the dog but the next thing I remember I was on the floor. Apparently I passed out. I've never passed out before. I went home afterwards because obviously I'm in no shape to be caring for pets but all I can think about is what happened? Why did it happen? My friend thinks it has something to do with seeing blood but not only have I seen blood before and never passed out, but I only nicked it there was not a lot of blood. Still I feel awful that I hurt that dog. Looking back it's clear I wasn't myself but for some reason in the moment it didn't occur to me "hey you don't feel as good as you think you do put the clippers down." My job isn't mad at me they say that even professional groomers still quick dogs at times and I'm pretty new but I'm mad at myself. How do you not realize something isn't right? I mean I was speaking like a zombie how do I not notice I'm not ok??? I'm scared to clip any more nails now because I don't want to hurt a dog that's the last thing I ever wanted to do.
TLDR: I passed out while clipping a dogs nails and cut the dog in the process.
