  1. I'm so very sorry...I know what you are going through. I still cry for the loss of my adored Ivy and Soldi and they appear in my dreams. Only time can help to overcome slowly the passing of a so beloved hound.
  2. You must be devastated...so many problems at a time. I feel for you and wish you a quick recovery at least for Larry...I would ALWAYS try to AVOID amputation but go the classic way of healing the leg. My Ivy broke his front leg years ago and he was in a kind of cast for 3 weeks and then he had a fixed bandage for another 3 weeks. After that time reeducation of normal walking started and he recovered 100%. No limping or weakening of the leg ever. He could run full speed like always after that time...I wish you luck with Larry...
  3. Some Greyhounds have very delicate digestive systems. My hounds were that way. Often tehy had those growly stomachs and didn't eat for a day or two. At the moment I wouldn't worry...lt her work it out herself...she'll be fine.
  4. Many good thoughts and lots of healthy vibrations coming Tony's way from Spain...have luck, precious boy!
  5. My new rescue ate poop a few times and now I give her every day a bit of ROQUEFORT cheese and since then she hasn't eaten anymore poop. Have luck!
  6. My poor Soldi (passed away in April this year)suffered of a corn nearly all her life. I took it out with a dental root elevator every 2 months or so.She was fine for a while but then the dammn corn came back...

    Dreams

    Hi Lucy, the same is happening to me. From time to time I dream with my beloved Ivy or Soldi...in the dreams they are just fine and happy...when I wake up realizing that they passed away, I even feel more miserable. I can't get over their loss and since Soldi left I have had permanent stomach troubles and depression...
  8. He looks so darn cute...best wishes for Bailey and a quick recovery!
  9. Susan, I'll try to get the info from my vet. When I know the details (if he wants to tell me, I hope so)I'll send you a PM. This vet always does the same procedure...he injects superfast a subcutaneous general anesthesia and when the hound turns his head back, (he gives the shot in the higher backleg area)to look where that sting comes from, it's already done and the vet disappears from his sight until the dog is asleep. I'm sorry that with Wizzard things didn't go like they should have gone. Anyway...now he's free running at the bridge without pain and fears... greetings, Marion
  10. I'm so very sorry to read about the loss of Wizzard! It's too late now to reply to your question, but Ivy and Soldi crossed the bridge totally peacefully and really didn't notice anything. The vet came to my home and gave them a quick subcutaneous shot of general anesthesia. They fell asleep and after a while he gave them the lethal shot in the vein. As Ivy was a very nervous dog who panicked at the simple view of a vet, the vet gave me 2 hours before 3 little pills, which I gave him and those left him very calm and nearly asleep. Both dogs crossed the bridge at my house (on my bed). I'm still having a hard time. Hugs to you, Marion
  11. I feel for you...I'm so very sorry for your loss, Run free sweet Bailey with Ivy and Soldi at the bridge...
  12. I'm so glad that you let him have free roam. Most hounds just behave perfectly but many people don't give it a try which is worth it. I never ever used a crate in all my hounds' life and I have had them since puppy age. No problems ever... Congrats to the best decision...

    Riley

    Lucy...I can't believe that your beautiful Riley is gone too...I'm so very sorry. Hardly 3 weeks ago I lost Soldi and 8 months ago I lost Ivy..it's so hard, and I keep you in my thoughts.
  14. Pat, I'm so sorry for your loss! May Zeus run free with Ivy and Soldi at the bridge... Their lives are just too short...
  15. Oh my God, Batmom...I can't believe what I see...your beloved Zema...I'm in tears. I'm so very sorry for your loss and as you well know, I share your pain totally...it seems that a whole group of 'old guard hounds' is leaving us...please know, you are in my thougths. I know how you feel. Run free sweet Zema with Ivy and Soldi at the bridge...
  16. I thank you all for your nice words! For those who are interested in remembering happy times of Ivy and Soldi, I have uploaded a few pictures in my gallery... Greetings to all of you, Marion
  17. I'm so sorry for your loss...Run free, sweety, with Ivy and Soldi at the bridge...
