greytpups

Thanks Sheri...I know you are reading between the lines here.

Thanks...I never thought of that!

We go to a vet that has been in practice for about 20 years. I can honestly say that he has never overcharged us...in fact quite the opposite but that may be because DH helped his son with school projects in the past. But this isn't all about money. I have had to take the pups in for emergencies and I've been impressed with how he treats the wound. For example, when Bailey had a limp I told him about my worries about OS and he took me seriously. When he checks out the pups he carefully listens to their breathing patterns, etc. for signs of ?? I'm not sure but I think he determines if they're in pain if their breathing patterns change. 3 of my coworkers also go to him, one has 2 greys so she goes because I recommended him. One guy who goes has a lab but goes to him because of someone else's recommendation, not mine. He recommended this vet to another coworker who has a miniature dauschaund (sp?). There is another vet across the street who most of our group goes to so she is very grey savvy. She even went to hear Dr. Couto last week so obviously she is interested in learning more. I faxed a flyer to my vet but no one in his office attended. It could be they all had another seminar, etc. but I assumed they didn't care about learning more about greys. He spayed Bailey and extracted a lot of teeth so she's been under anaesthesia 3 times without problems. Last week I learned that a lot of greys are bleeders and I wonder if we have just been lucky or that our vet is aware of this. When we first took Bailey in to him, I had an article about greys and medical information but he wasn't interested in reading it. I trust him but the other vet is grey savvy. However, she missed OS in a pup and that concerns me. When our vet was checking Bailey's limp he explained to me everything he was doing and why he felt it was a soft tissue injury. See why I'm confused? DH doesn't want to switch vets? Any advice?

Hi and welcome...you sound like a real cutie pie...can't wait to see pictures.

Hi from Waterloo...Bailey is retired from Hinsdale...last race was in 2004 though.

I'm so sorry...sending gentle hugs to your gang.

It was a lovely tribute...no trouble viewing it except for the tears that were blurring my vision. How true that we grieve deeply because we love deeply.

He looks awesome...and content!

I am so sorry...run free Duchess.

I am so sorry...another beautiful pup gone way too soon.

What a lovely tribute...and if there's a rainbow beach, I'm sure the greys will find it.

You can tell how much she was loved...she was beautiful!

I am so sorry...what a lovely tribute to a sweet angel.

Hope your feeling better soon Max. Maybe momma will sing some more and make you feel better!

I'm so sorry.

Tina, I use it on Ben and Bailey and when we went for a dental check up in February, their teeth were OK. Ben hasn't had to have a cleaning since we adopted him 3 years ago. We're not really diligent at brushing their teeth either, but I may try this suggestion. Neither pup has issues with stomach upsets.

Robin, do you want to try loading them onto my PC? Let me know. I have a 5MB limit for receiving e-mails but I'm not sure about sending. We're really glad to hear Loca is feeling better and hoping for continued good news about her diagnosis.

Nancy, I am just reading this now. I avoid reading remembrance e-mails at work but when I say Kia's name I knew right away your sweet girl had gone to the bridge. I am so sorry to hear this and am very glad you're doing OK. She was a sweet girlie and I's so glad I got to meet her. Sending hugs and wishes that the pain will turn into sweet memories.

Robin...let me know if you need a ride...I can take you.

Hoping for the best here Robin...

I cried when I read this and I am still crying...your tribute was so toucing and I can't get that photo of her in the car out of my mind. I hope you are doing well and remembering lots of good memories. You sure can tell she was really loved.

I agree...what a cutie

Always glad to hear good news about Carrier...way to go! This reminds me of a quote (sorry, I can't remember the exact words) but it goes something like this...“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” Keep remembering and treasure those moments.

Oh Robin, I'm so sorry to hear this.

Sending healing thoughts and hoping Miss Echo feels better soon...and the ice melts quickly.
