I too had a girl with a happy tail and removed all but 3 inches. What a difference after suffering with it for almost 8 years until she opened it and it wouldn't heal. I had it done at NGAP in Philadelphia last October and the vet did an amazing job. I had to change the bandage every other day for about a week and a half until the stitches came out, but it healed beautifully and we and she are very happy.

Congratulations and welcome to the Forum. Ami is a beautiful girl.!!!!

You might want to try a "Calming Collar" www.calmingcollars.com I have found it works wonders.

Can't believe it's been two years already. :-)

Frisby will be very happy that you decided to give Jimmy a loving home. Congratulations!!!!!!!!

If it keeps opening, your best bet is to have I docked. I FINALLY had to do it to Chica after 8 years and I am sorry I didn't do it like I wanted to when it first happened 8 years ago. It's cute and no more blood spattered throughout the house.

Didn't they give you an antibiotic also since they removed 4 teeth.

Welcome and can't wait to see pics of all of the dogs. :-)

Hi from Langhorne, PA

Does he eat dirt in your yard?

So sorry for your loss, Donna.

Hope all goes well with the boys today, Irene. Keep us posted.

My vet doesn't like the Amitraz in Preventic collars and said she defintely would not recommend the Certifect.

I was in the Vet's office last night and picked up a brochure about a new Flea and Tick product made by Merial - who makes Frontline and Frontline +. It's called Certifect and it supposedly has one more ingredient in than Frontline Plus, but it doesn't say what it is. Have to find out if that "extra" ingredient is safe for greyhounds. Anyone ever heard of it?

Ditto here!!!!!!!!!!

This could be pack dynamics OR it is possible that Jackson is having a health issue. I would have him tested for Lymes because of the sudden aggression. I can see him going after Fen, but not you.

Praying for Target.

Ford has been doing it for years and now, all of a sudden, Dodge has started eating the dirt. I try to stop them as often as I can. Don't understand it and the Vets have no explanation for it.

There is an auto-immune disease that can cause this. Maybe Sheshe will see your post and fill you in.

Fingers crossed that they ot it all out.

Praying for a good outcome. Keep us posted, Donna. Hope he is okay when he comes out of the anesthesia. (((((hugs)))))

My first four came right from the kennel and it is fun to teach them about how to be a pet in a home environment and watch them learn about stairs, doors, windows, furniture and soft beds, etc. It really didn't take them long to get the hang of a schedule or potty routine. My last three had been fostered and it was somewhat easier as far as learning all of the basic stuff, but they all transitioned into the household quickly regardless of whether they had been fostered or not.

Prayers for Ripley.

Congratulations. I LOVE those CLBDs.. He is one handsome boy.
