[I don't want Daisy to have an 18hr fasting blood test]

My motto when they become teenagers less is more.   As some stated you know your dog best. 

 

[Separation Anxiety]

Are you using a Kong or licking mat?  May help. 

[11 year old Male, losing weight, runny stools.]

My 15 year old had diarrhea on & off her last few months.  A coarse of Flagyl & Tylan powder always helped a lot.  

[New rescue greyhound with relatively inexperienced owners]

Did he get bumped, foot stepped on anything physical that may have happened by accident? 

[Help Please!! 3 weeks post adoption not sure if I've done the right thing???]

have you spoken to the adoption group?  you need to call them.  they may have a better suited dog for you.  

[Newly adopted greyhound attacked small dog]

I stay away from small dogs & children when on walks.  Just not worth the risk. 

[Aggression problem]

Wow lots of solid advice on this thread.  Hope it helps you!!

[Legal Advice Needed (Dog Control Agreement)]

OK Lexus Project.   I still reach out to them.  I think someone is an attorney and can maybe help.  So sorry this happened.  It never happened but I know my Patches could have easily killed a cat.  She just could not control herself.  Its an instinct as you know. 

[Legal Advice Needed (Dog Control Agreement)]

Uggg.....are you in the USA?  I think I remember something called the Lexi project.  A couple from NY formed it to help with these types of things.  I'll try to use the search bar but other people might remember better than me!

 

[New to hookworms]

I let her play in the yard.  We just pick up right away.  I hope I'm not making things worse for her (or her sibling) 

[New to hookworms]

I'm battling this currently also.  I have been told I will be treating for a least a year.  My grey is completely asymptomatic.  Gaining weight eats well & lots of energy. 

[My GH killed another dog.]

All this above advice is excellent.  Only thing I can add is can you look at the area of the fence that the other dog crawled under.  May block this up somehow?  

[Elevated Creatine Kinase?]

Thread is pretty old.  I don't believe there is a supplement nor medication that can lower a CPK.  The question is why is it so high?? 

[Wakes me up in the night]

Sounds normal to me.  Zim used to nest like crazy a few times per night.  Maya used to moan loudly whenever she got up or laid down.  Used to make me laugh. 

[My grey is coming up to my husband to growl at him]

You will get some good advice here I'm sure but if I were you I would have a behaviorist come to the house.  Things in the house have changed with Covid but you don't want your husband to get hurt. 

[Night time howling]

I'm sorry no has responded.  I guess you have got us stumped   Has it gotten any better??  Maybe a kong to occupy the pup during the night?  

[I'm on the waiting list!]

Do you think they would adopt out of state?  I lost my Maya a few weeks ago and am having no luck finding another greyhound I'm getting sad.

She loves strolling through the campground, schmoozing with her adoring public.

 

I love this 

[Aggressive to people who enter the house when we're not there]

My first (who growled at everything)  was like this in the beginning.  Would not come down stairs to be walked so dog walker would go upstairs and she would snap.  I had to stop with this dog walker.  I went without one for a time she settled in more than found another dog walker & all was good.  She may just need more time to settle in.  Can you come home to let him out on the days you are not working from home? 

[Does anyone RV with their dog(s)?]

I have tent camped with Maya and had no issues.  Then switched to a pop up camper & again no issues.  She was 11-13 1/2 during this time with some mobility issues so a little less worry that she could get away.    Hoping to adopt again so an expen is going to be a must have. 

[Bridge Angels in May 2021]

Please add Starz Maya to the list  My brood who raced a lot & had 22 puppies.  Rest easy my love 

[Kidney function and Propalin/Proin]

DES user here for 13 1/2 year old; twice weekly works really well.  I declined the proin from all I read on here.  

[New Adoptee Getting Less Cooperative]

Muzzle?  Maya is 13 6/12 I still cannot get her nails trimmed via dremel or clippers.  I have to bring her to local pet store and it takes 2 people to get this done. 

[5 months post-adoption, ongoing issues]

I have a good friend with lots of greyhound experience who lives in NYC.  If you would like to contact her PM me.  She has lots of experience with CBD also.  

[Struggling after 4 months - bad fit or just need more time?]

I had to return my first greyhound over 15 years ago.  Just could not handle her prey drive.  I was overwhelmed.  I now have owned 4 greyhounds and feels so much more experienced.  An older dog may suit you better.  Best of luck.  Your a responsible dog owner
