[Greyhound reactive and aggressive to people on walks]

You will get good advice here but I would get a trainer involved.  Call your adoption group & they can probably give you the names of some with greyhound experience. 

[Advice needed re newly adopted young greyhound. Help!]

HA HA!  The world of a young greyhound.  My 1st was 23 months; never again ..   The Kong was the only thing that got me through.  Frozen peanut butter yogurt pumpkin.  Kept her busy for awhile & lots of exercise.  You will be fine. 

[Sudden extreme pain in greyhound’s leg]

Did they provide the tramadol?  It appears my vet will not prescribe narcotics for these issues any longer. 

[Euthanasia after x-ray - waking up or leaving sedated]

I've been going through this with Maya my 13 1/2 year old. Limping & yelping in pain.  1st vet had to sedate her.  Nothing to report on xray.  Bring her to different vet (1 hour away & more experience with greyhounds).  They want updated xrays.  I ask do you need to sedate her they did not.  Said they very rarely need to sedate a greyhound especially a senior.   So frustrating. Hoping this turn out negative & pain meds help.

Seniors are the best.

I want to adopt one so bad.   Most of my greyhounds have made it to teenagers and I stop doing dentals (as well as vaccines except rabies) .  As long as they are eating & drinking well.  No signs of an abscess.  I just want them to enjoy life.  Not miss a few days due to a dental cleaning.  

[Greyhounds in Gettysburg - new date in 2021]

So happy to read this.  My vaccine will be completed by this time!! Now for the Matchbox twenty to reschedule & I'm a happy girl. 

[How do you know your hounds love you?]

When I was sick many years ago & needed to sit in the tub Pathces would lay down outside the bathroom door every single time and wait for me.  Zim & Maya not so much

[Is my greyhound / whippet mix at a good weight ?]

OMG a whippet greyhound mix.  My dream dog

Another vote for Houndtime light weight coats.  They are pefect. 

[Adopted greyhound behaving different after first 1.5 weeks]

Does not sound like you have done anything wrong.  It takes time to have their personality show.  I would never allow a pet on the bed or furniture.  Google Nothing in life is free.  I used this for my 1st who was very bossy & it helped a lot.  Diarrhea is common in greyhounds.  You should have pumpkin & Imodium on hand.   The dog just needs more time.

Gator seems to be much better on the pain meds and anti-inflammatory meds

That is what matters most.

[Should we get a second opinion on OS diagnosis? MRI? Amputate?]

Have his xrays sent to Dr Coutou.  I don't recall his contact information.  Put his name in the search button and you will find  lots of posts about him.  I would not do an MRI until I heard his opinion.

OMG why do they do this?  Patches & the new GS puppy do this all the time.  Jack has already moved on.  Next time you will know.  A stern no and if that does not work redirect some place else with a small treat.

Excellent news.  Diarrhea is the pits.  I did 3 loads on laundry last Friday; Maya was not feeling well. 

[Grey will not walk with only one person]

Can you bring some enticing treats?  Bill Jacks liver treats come to mind.   

[How can I stop my new grey barking at 5am?]

Black out curtains are a fabulous idea!!

[New greyhound new owner need help!]

First off take a deep breath.  I was the same over 10 years ago and now I am on #4.  Take the new pup out for frequent walks preferably in a martingale collar or harness to avoid slipping out.  They will pee & poop when they  need to.  You can't force it.  2nd they will sleep where they want to but in my house no furniture or bed.  Too many privilege's too soon.   I had 3 that were independent & slept in a different room.  Then Patches (my 3rd) had to be near me at all times.  Do you have a crate?  Most like them to hang out in.   Lots of treats for good behavior helps also.

, although still jumpy on walks

Make sure he is in a harness or martingale color something he cannot slip out of. 

[Greyhound pees in the house only at night]

Although my grey is 13 so pee is to be expected I started putting her in my bedroom at night (she used to be in the kitchen)  When I hear her stand up we are up & out the door.  I was cleaning up urine huge amounts every morning.  This has helped. 

[So, Sully (on his lead) got hold of a small dog who was off lead while out walking :-(]

I'm worse.   I don't any dog near Maya when walking her.  She was attacked once by an off leash dog.  My first was badly attacked by a dog that escaped the house.  I just say hi and move along.   So sorry  I would be upset too.  But not your fault.

Agree.  Can be very trying at times.
