[Faye Had A Dental & Lost 23 Teeth!]

Kerri had 22 teeth pulled last year right before I adopted her. She has no problem eating kibble. I add water to let it soften a little and she does fine. She also eats Mother Hubbard and Paul Newmans biscuts. They are hard but crumble easily. Most of her teeth that were removed were on the side and a few of the little ones in the front, she has her back teeth

[Getting Enough Exercise With]

When mine are restricted from running, if they are aloud walks, we go for short walks and car rides. Just the excitement of getting a leash on and going out of the house wears them out

[Pill Taking Suggestions?]

I had to give a pill to Kerri last night, I mixed it in with her yougart and she ate it right up:)

[Pill Taking Suggestions?]

I use liverwurst. The girls love it and don't even notice the pill. Good Luck!

[I Think We Have Fleas!]

I use Advantage and split one tube between two dogs. I think it works great for fleas. If I apply it after I bathe the girls. I wait about 48 hrs. Esme looks like such a sweet girl

[Champ Has Summer Teeth]

Kerri had 22 teeth removed before I adopted her last May. I took her for another dental 6 months later and she did fine, no more teeth were pulled. The teeth that she has left are not very pretty, they are mostly in the back and a few in the front, the sides are where she lost most of them. She does fine with eating her kibble, I soak it in broth or water to soften it. She can also eat hard biscuits, just takes her a little longer.

[Ngap Veterinary Clinic]

I used NGAP this year for both my girls. I was very pleased with them and both dogs did just fine. I met with the Vets before their dentals and they were very nice, and answered all my questions. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price was very good, compared to the $500.00 each that my regular Vet quoted me. I also like the fact that NGAP knows Greyhounds. I will be going back for next year's dentals.

[The Shivers]

Kerri shivers when she is outside for a quick potty break in this cold weather, her teeth even chatter from the cold.

[Help!]

I used baby oil to work a sticky bandage off. It took awhile but the bandage finally came off.

[Do You Think She Will Be Ok?]

She will be fine, especially if the body is cardboard.

 

We have learned to keep cat toys waaaaaay out of hound reach.

 

 

ETA: Hydrogen peroxide tastes NASTY, so they will always spit it out unless you pour it directly down their throats.

 

 

Flossie has eaten this kind of mouse. I found the plastic body on the floor, but I wasn't sure who ate the fur, Floss or Kerri, well on our walks Floss pooped green for two days, dead give away Kitty doesn't get mice to play with anymore

[Dentals @ Ngap]

I took my 2 girls to NGAP for their dentals after my regular vet quoted me a price of about $500.00 each. I was a little nervous at first because I had never been there before, but I was very pleased with the results. No extractions and nice pearly white teeth. I was worried about my one girl because her teeth are pretty bad looking and she had 22 pulled before I adopted her. The staff was very friendly and I went back with the girls before their dentals to meet the Vets and talk to them. I am less than an hour away so the drive wasn't bad. When they need dentals again, I will be taking them back to NGAP.

[Barbiejade ~ The Queen]

Pat, What a shock! I am so sorry to hear about Barbiejade I know you are devasted. My thoughts and prayers go out to you

[Raw Meat - Freeze First?]

I am not sure about killing bacteria, but I have found that freezing meat for a while before cooking it seems to make the meat more tender. I don't feed raw to my hounds, but I do this for myself.

[Newbie Member Question]

My one girl Flossie dosen't statue, she just lays down sometimes during our walks My other girl Kerri and I will just stop and wait for Floss to get up, sometimes I even sit down with her. You gotta love Greyhounds

[What Is The Deal With This?]

Sounds like the chatters to me. My one girl, Flossie does it all the time and I get the same remarks that you get. I just tell them that when she is happy she chatters her teeth

[Are You Dog's Microchipped?]

Not to high-jack this thread, but I want to get my girls chipped with their next dentals, while they are asleep, this year. Do the marjority of you chip while the dog is awake or wait until they have a dental or other procedure that they are asleep?

[Economical Flea Prevention?]

I use Interceptor all year round, it protects against other types of worms also and I use Advantage for fleas during the summer months. I split one tube between both girls. The last application I do is right before we head to Dewey Beach

[Hello, New To The Greyhound World]

Welcome from Wilm. DE Your new girl is Beautiful

[Boy Or Girl ?]

I have 2 girls

[Good Bye Mae Mae]

I am so sorry to hear about Mae Mae. I remember when Chris and Amy adopted Expo and Mae Mae. She was such a sweet girl who had Great Parents. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family

[A Last Diary Entry For My Oscar]

Going to miss you Oscar

[Oscar]

I am so sorry to hear about Oscar's passing. I always look forward to reading his Diary and seeing him with his Hulk Man.

[21 Teeth Removed]

Wow lots of great ideas. Thanks everyone. I will check out Burpdogs. I have heard everything good about them, now is the time to try them.

[21 Teeth Removed]

Thanks for all the greyt replys and suggestions. I'm glad to hear your puppers can enjoy some harder/hard treats. I will try them with Kerri. I don't want to always be feeding her soft treats, I want to try to keep her remaining teeth healthy and in her mouth

[21 Teeth Removed]

I adopted Kerri two months ago. Before she came to me, she had 21 teeth removed. I soften her kibble and add a little can food or chicken/beef and rice. She has no problems eating. What I wanted to know, is what kind of treats does everyone feed their pups who have had some teeth removed? I have been giving her Gooberlicious, Wellness Wellbites and BillJack soft treats. I am looking for more of a variety.
