Old dogs really are the best!

Agree! Nothing less than 5 for me. 

[Newly adopted greyhound growls at my daughter]

Have you called the adoption group?  This would make me very nervous that he may bite... Muzzle as mentioned above.  So sorry. 

[New greyhound terrified to go potty]

If she is that timid outdoors be sure she is in a secure harness or some other way to keep her from escaping.    My Patches would jump, bolt try to run with lots of noises outside.  She was in a harness until it got better  

[Osteo- when did you know it was time?]

For me its just a look in their eyes that says "I am done" 

[Recurring Diarrhea problem in older Greyhound]

Have labs been done?  Liver Pancreas?  Maya who is 12 6/12 has diarrhea (although non bloody) since I adopted her at age 8.  I use Tylan powder for a few meals & it resolves.  Maybe ask for that.  

[New England travel tips with a greyhound]

Not sure if its still open but I stayed at the Paw House Inn  in Rutland Vermont.  They had a fairly large fenced in area with agility coarse.  I had 2 greyhounds at the time and they loved running in there.  Some nearby hiking, restaurants.  Not sure about lakes though.  Take a look.  It was an awesome place. 

[Aggression and possessiveness]

can you crate at night until this passes which I think it will. 

[Strange hound behavior?]

They each have their own personality.  As long as Pablo is eating well drinking well pooping well and walking daily I would not worry too much about it. 

[Osteo any new treatment? Amputation is not an option.]

(and here come the tears)

We have all been there.  Hoping you have some answers soon. 

[Help!]

Have you spoken to anyone at the adoption group?  Do you have a crate?  Are the stairs carpeted?  If he is destroying things he needs to be crated when you can't be with him.   I used food on the stairs to get mine to go up and then guided them down gently by the collar.  Once they are up and down a few times they figure if out.  Stay calm everything you are describing is normal.    Also you should get a harness to walk him so he does not get away if he slips a collar. 

[Grateful for Greyhounds]

I'm sure after your enthusiastic welcome home they took a nice long nap!! 

[New Grey has already attacked 2 small dogs]

I am so sorry you are going through this.  Such a hard situation.  The adoption  group now has this valuable information that the next owners will  be aware of.  He will find a home I am certain.  There are a lot of experienced greyhound owners out there that can deal with a variety of difficult things.  Hugs

[Spooked Greyhound - help!]

My first 2 greyhounds love squeaky & stuffed toys.  When I brought Maya home I assumed the same.  Forget it.   I tossed a stuffy over to where she was laying & scared the poor thing.  She got up cowering and shaking.  Have never tried it again.  Just not her thing.  Now I have a bag full of toeys that are waiting for the next grey to my home!! 

[Anti-inflammatory advice]

Robaxin -muscle relaxer.  Tramadol - opioid but no GI side effects.  Don't necessarily need anti- inflammatory for pain. 

[Grey Starting To #1 & #2 In House All of Sudden]

I would call the vet.  Just because he did not have a urinary tract infection 4 weeks ago does not mean he does not have one now.  My 12 1/2 brood has started the same thing.  I purchased pull ups for her;  just could not keep up with the laundry.  Again I would consider calling the vet. 

[Grey has had 2 seizures in 24 hrs.. tramadol?]

[Stocking up on dog food in advance of shortages caused by COVID19?]

If your buying extra bags think about the local shelter & maybe get an extra bag for them also!  I dropped off one last week at local greyhound rescue. 

[G I G. Canceled]

Any chance they would rebook this for a fall event? 

[Bloody Diarrhea]

to make sure he is still taking his anti-inflammatory meds

Am I missing something?  what anti inflammatory meds?  Don't they cause GI bleeds?  Is it prednisone?  

[Kiddo is growing and dog isn’t happy]

Honestly if your dog is growling and you have a toddler in the house I would be a wreck.  My first was a growler & even supervised she almost bit my friends daughters face.  They can be unpredictable.  I would get a behaviorist in the house ASAP.  I would also keep them separated.  I know its hard but you don't want to have Max bite your baby and the growling is his way of warning you.  I'm sure others will chime in.  I wish you luck. 

[Looking for Littermates? (Flying Train X WWK Tostitos)]

Holy smokes that is one big dog for a female.  She is just stunning!!!

[How to get her to jump in the back of our car?]

Ha!! I've had Maya since she was 8 I still have to lift her in the car.  She just will not move;  treats & all.  She got me trained. 

[Digging and scratching at night]

Zim was a huge nester.  Could not have dog beds; she would destroy them.  I just used comforters for her.  No scratching just her fluffing things up. Also I think they are

easier to wash then beds.  

[What to expect with a 2 year old?]

Adopted by 1st Zim at 22 months.  All I can say is batten down the hatches!!!  She was a crazy fool dog.     Never again this young for me.  I'll take the seniors.  Don't get me wrong I loved her to pieces & had a good 10 years with her but she was a challenge.  

[possible bloat?]

I gave Greenies to my first greyhound.  She used to barf full chunks of them several hours later.  Contacted adoption group said to stop.  Very difficult to digest.
