That is either a corn or a cutaneous horn. I had a greyhound with a cutaneous horn. For a few years I thought it was an extra toe nail. Then a vet tried to "hull" it out thinking it was a corn.
If it's a cutaneous horn it will be sort of soft. I was able to trim it down and it was sort of spongy texture.
They don't hurt the dog and there is no reason to be worried about them. Easy to manage, just need to keep it trimmed so it doesn't snag on carpet.

I'm so sorry.
is he on medication? It may be time to adjust his medications. -
I wish there was a like/love button for Jens post.
Please, recheck with your vet on the pain meds or better yet find a new one. Ace and Dramamine are not sufficient pain meds at all.

. So very sad.

LPop, where are you located. Maybe Jen can help find a trainer who will answer the phone.
. Good luck, I hope you, your son, and Rock can get this resolved.

Use baby gates, not closed doors.

If she raced until 5 she has never been alone. In fact she was in a crate with dogs all around her. Now she is in a kitchen, no other dogs and her "people" are out of site. Her entire world has changed.
If you don't want her upstairs you need to make sure that she doesn't feel so alone. A radio or a TV left on sometimes helps.

Oh Wendy. I'm so very sorry
. He and Danger are together and playing again. He was a stunning boy. -
White fluffy is completely different than your small bulldog. And outdoors is different than what happens in the house.
We have a mini Aussie. He is about 10 pounds and very fluffy. In the house all my dogs are small dog safe and cat safe. We also have a 3 pound chi mix and a 12 pound cat.
However, outside my greyhounds have chased and even grabbed the mini Aussie. They don't even mess with the chi but the hairy dog bounces and the hair shakes and, well, looks like a stuffed toy rolling through the yard.
You don't need to muzzle your dog but you do need to take some precautions. Any new dog, fluffy or not, should have some precautions when meeting.
We shaved the dog.
. Stopped all the problems. -
Ouch! I had a friends who's dog had to have ACL surgery. That dog was severely obese. Once she did the surgery and put the dog on a diet with regular exercise he did great.
Hope the surgery goes well.

I'm in Amarillo, TX. My vet gives the rattlesnake vaccine but I don't do it because I don't live in the country and I don't take my dogs in areas of snakes.
The vaccine does not protect against the venom but does buy you some time to get to the vet. If you can't get to the vet after the bite it could still kill the dog. I don't know about the Benadryl thing.

Those look more like ant bites to me.
I had one dog with pimples (blackheads) and I have three teenage girls with acne. I don't pop or mess with any of them.
The dog wasn't self conscious about it but the kids got some face wash.

Exactly what Pam said. Dallas is a very broad area. There are TONS of great vets in and around Dallas and also many specialists.
If you can narrow down the area that they are moving to it will help.

I never knew Dangers story. I met you in 2009 at Sandy Paws.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Danger was loved and you will always carry him with you. Big hugs to you.

Hi Brenda. I used to live in Plano and now am in Amarillo.
Welcome!

She was beautiful. (((Hugs)))

I answered on the facebook page but I think your dogs nails look healthy.

I've always loved that you had a big goofy yellow lab in your pack of Greys. We have very similar stories in that our lab Blu came to us as a 4 month old after our other lab passed.
I'm so sorry for your loss. May Baily always live in your memories.

When Carmen and Dottie lost teeth they both lost all of their molars. Neither had any issues with chewing. Dottie lost 20 teeth. She still chewed as if nothing had happened. I think if Violet hurts you will see it right away.

Carmen.

I flew with a greyhound in the cabin once. You have to know your dog. Not all of mine would have been good and I made sure to be very aware and respectful of the other passengers.
How is your dog in public? How is she on a bus or even just a car ride? Does she whine and stand? If so, a plane ride may not be in her best interest. As much as she is a ESA for you, you should also be a comfort for her. Also be sure to check each airport that you will be at. I had a connection and wanted to take my dog outside to potty and when returning into the airport was notified that they don't accept pets in the general area. I had to do a lot of smooth talking to get back in. Even with paperwork. An ESA dog is very different than a service dog and they do not have the same rights.
On the plane they will let her sit or lay in the bulkhead (seats at the very front). She can not sit or put her feet on a seat and must be able to be controlled by command or leash. I have seen employees ask a passenger with a service pet to "control" them. Not everyone wants to pet your dog and not everyone is comfortable sitting by a pet.
All of that being said, my greyhound was a dream on the flight. I took a small roll up bed and she laid right down and didn't move until we landed. I enjoyed having her with me.

I've actually met Zak. He is very nice. He does more sport training. Is that what you are looking for?

Howdy. I'm in Arlington now. I've been to Amarillo a couple of times. I think GALT has some influence there, but it's mainly a DFW operation.
Yes, Galt has representatives here in Amarillo. Greyhounds Unlimited also has taken dogs from Amarillo. This is a very high "coyote dog" area.

I'm so sorry that your experience was not good.
However, I have to disagree with your post. Every dog is different as well as every family. To make a blanket statement that greys would be better with a couple and no kids? Crazy. Every dog is different. Some thrive being an only dog and a single owner. Others are social butterflies.
You had your dog for three weeks. In my opinion that wasn't near enough time for either of you to have gotten to know each other.
Good luck in the future whether that includes having a greyhound or not.
