I took my dog into Petco, to be groomed yesterday morning. When we pick them up everything appeared fine, until closer inspection. I noticed my dogs eye was weeping a lot on one side, I called the groomer and she new which eye it was and said it happening a home? Later in the conversion she asked if was bleeding... I thought that was strange. I few hours later I realize he was excessively pawing his eye, thats when i know it happening at the groomers. Because I would have noticed it, he would have been doing it earlier at home. Upon closer in spection I noticed his brow and eye lid area is cut or scratched, I cant tell because of the crusting and weeping arounded the area. What should I do? Wait and see if it gets better or worst tomorrow? Should I call Petco in the morning and tell them? I am not sure what to do?
my pet was injuried at by the groomer

You should take your dog to your vet. This could be a skin issue, i.e. a laceration or clipper burn, but it could also be a scratch on the cornea or hair in his eye. You vet will be able to tell the difference.
