Jr Grey lover

Jr Grey lover (5/9)

  1. Does anyone recognize the group or person that makes these plush Greyhounds (the two on the outside)? https://ibb.co/FsZ5xHC
  2. Finally got a chance to work on this. Let me know if this is helpful... I can make another if not. https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdr5QjCw/
  3. Happy to hear it. The LS one was probably the hardest one I've made because that article is so popular but I've talked to a lot of specialists and none of them agreed with the end premise of diagnosis or treatment in that article.
  4. That is a great question. I honestly have no idea. I'm not super TikTok savvy. I had shared something similar in a FB group and a few people said something similar so I wonder if there may be something to that.
  5. https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPd23JuQV/ This discusses GOLPP by the LP is Laryngeal Paralysis.
  6. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any suggestions for topics for vet videos on TikTok... could be Greyhound specific or not and if you find any of the videos helpful. Early on I could only do 60 second videos but was eventually allowed to go up to 3 minutes. If you have time, let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions. :) Thanks! Here is my most recent discussion on euthanasia: https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPd2W3cjD/ Here is one that is more Greyhound specific on CBCs of Greyhounds: https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPd2Wp89u/ Here is a link to all the videos: https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPd2WVeuy/
  7. It's been quite a long time since I've posted here and while I miss the community, it is going to be a quick in and out. I just uploaded an updated version of the Greyhound Health Packet that I wanted to let people know about. It does have a few updates from the last packet so if you have an older version... please take the time to update. If you haven't seen it... please feel free to have a look. The packet is located in the "library" section of our webpage under Greyhound Information. http://www.medinavets.com/library/ Hope some of you may find it helpful and please feel free to share with others and rescue groups. I know several groups use the packet but not sure how to reach everyone so tried reaching out here and on facebook and hoping the "word gets out".
  8. The American Veterinary Medical Foundation is having a contest to find America's favorite veterinarian. You can nominate your favorite veterinarian via their facebook page at the link below: https://www.facebook.com/AVMFdn/app_435422166534159 I nominated Dr. Guillermo Couto from Ohio State for all of his amazing Greyhound work. He's helped Greyhounds all across the country and even around the world and for as smart as he is... he is even more personable (as those who have met him will confirm). Anyway, just wanted to share for anyone that was interested!
  9. Laryngeal Paralysis may be something to consider in SOME older Greyhounds. I've seen this in some Greyhounds (including one of my own) and heat intolerance is definitely a symptom. The most "classic" symptoms are a "hoarse" bark or harsher panting/breathing. Just something to keep in mind.
  10. I think JJNg has made some great posts on this thread. A "heart murmur" is not something that should ever be treated... heart disease is something that should be treated. Heart murmur does not automatically equal heart disease. 1. It is normal for some Greyhounds to have "normal" (aka athletic) heart murmurs... although this are generally quiet in nature (grade 1 or 2). 2. Greyhounds have the appearance of "large" hearts on x-ray. Heart murmur information An echo by a cardiologist (as mentioned previously) is just about the only way to go to be sure of the diagnosis. It may cost $500 to see the cardiologist and get an ultrasound... but imagine how much more money you'd waste on Vetmedin if you didn't actually need the medication. If you don't have a cardiologist in your city... you can generally find one that isn't "too far" away at a veterinary teaching hospital. If Ohio State is possible, they have excellent cardiologists and they see a lot of Greyhounds. Dr. Bonagura at Ohio State is one of the top cardiologists in the entire country.
  11. I'd love the information if you have it. THANKS! : )
  12. Thanks for the early replies... I'm interested in experiences with either surgical or medical laser so the more the merrier. : ) Also... if your Grey was treated... did they have to sedate for the treatment? I know often medical laser does not require sedation but I would assume the surgical laser would. Thanks again!
  13. Has anyone had their Greyhound's corns treated with laser therapy? If so, would you mind sharing your experience and if possible any contact information you have for the veterinarian that provided the treatment. I'd like to gather more information on this treatment option. Thanks!
