I'm so sorry.

Oh no! I'm so sorry.

Oh my, what a beauty! I'll be you're wearing out that kissy spot. Congratulations!

She's a beauty and certainly looks like she's settled in quickly! Congrats!

Oh, Linda, I know you're worried. Please know that I am sending prayers and positive thoughts for a good outcome.

I'm sorry about your boy's diagnosis. I don't have personal experience but friends of mine adopted an older blind greyhound (PRA) within the last year. She may see this and respond. Anyway, he has done amazingly well adjusting to the loss of his previous home, being returned to a kennel situation and then being re-homed. He just goes with the flow. They did some reading and research, and were fortunate to be able to contact the owners of some of his littermates who have lost their sight due to PRA and they were an excellent source of information and comfort to them. I don't know if you've checked into it, but there are message forums dedicated specifically to blind dogs and they could also be a good resource for you. I know Yahoo has one that's been around for about 10 years and has over 3,000 members. I'm sure there are lots of others out there as well. http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/blinddogs/

Congratulations! She's a beauty.

You are both in my thoughts.

Hello and welcome to you and your new girl!

You didn't say how old your dog is and what the temperature is when this happens, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to mention this to your vet. Panting can be a symptom of pain or a circulation problem. That doesn't mean that it is in your dog's case, of course, but it can be.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I know how upset and confused you must feel. I too have read about seizure activity manifesting in this way and wonder if that's what this is or if it's just sleep space aggression ... I have experienced a somewhat similiar situation with my girl, Carly. She is extremely timid but has the worst sleep "aggression" I've experienced. My first greyhound had it but Carly's is intense. When startled awake she comes up snarling and snapping while at the same time trying to flee. It's really like she's panicked and feels she needs to fight for her life if she's can't immediately run away. One night shortly after I adopted her, I rolled over in bed in the dark thinking the greyhound beside me was my male, Keno. But Carly had gotten on the bed with me while I was asleep and when I rolled over and touched her she sprang up snapping and snarling in my face. I was so started that I screamed and of course this flipped her out even more. She kept lunging at me and might have bitten me if I hadn't thrown a blanket over her head. I realize now because of the way I positioned my body she probably felt trapped against the wall was likely lunging at me trying to get away. Typically if anything frightens her she runs and gets in her crate. She's gotten less fearful now and is a really sweet and loving dog. I never seen any aggressive from her except when she startled from a deep sleep. Needless to say, she does not get on the bed with me now and I never touch her or allow anyone else to touch her when she's sleeping. Sometimes she sleeps with her eyes open, so I always call her name first. I am going to request a full thyroid panel on her. She's 4 1/2 and it will be good to have a baseline on her if nothing else. I hope you find the answer to your boy's problem. A good thorough physical and thyroid panel sounds like a good place to start to me. Hugs.

I'm so sorry.

Oh no! I'm so very sorry.

Hoping for the best possible news.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry.

Hello and welcome! Congratulations on your new boy, Harry!

I understand.

I'm so sorry.

to the wonderful world of greyhounds! I'm sure you were warned that they are addictive. Congrats on your handsome boy, Rolex! Will stay tuned for further announcements.

Hello and welcome. I'm sorry for your recent loss but glad you've opened your heart to another greyhound. One never replaces another, of course, but it has always helped my heart heal. Atticus is a very handsome boy. Congratulations!
