I second trying the Zylkene that grey_dreams suggested. I used it for my slightly spooky girl for a year when I first got her and it seemed to help her. If she were mine, I'd also be giving her extra B vitamins and magnesium, both of which are depleted by stress.

So sorry for your loss of Billy.

I'm so very sorry you lost your beloved Donovan. Rest in peace, Donovan, loved and remembered always.

I'm so sorry you lost your sweet girl. Rest in peace, Pepper.

I'm so sorry for your loss of beautiful Wren.

My first greyhound had a partially ruptured tendon which presented itself as a swelling on the tendon and a mild, persistent lameness. My own vets didn't know what it was even after xrays so I consulted a greyhound vet (one of the authors of Care of the Racing and Retired Greyhound) and he told me to leash-walk him for 6 months to allow the tendon to heal. It seemed like an awfully long time (and he was a dog who loved to run!), but the tendon did heal and we had no more problems with it even when he went back to running. Obviously I don't know if your dog has a similar problem, but it may be that there is a soft-tissue injury there which isn't getting sufficient time to heal before being aggravated by running again.

So sorry for your loss of beautiful Asta.

I think it's a good idea for everyone to have a harness in their dog's wardrobe because you never know when you might need one for a neck injury for example. I've got a spook harness for my boy, even though he's not a spook, because he has a history of neck problems, and other harnesses we tried didn't fit very well (we didn't try the WWW one though). I think harnesses are more comfortable for them too especially on long walks.

So sorry for your loss of your beautiful girl.

Rest in peace, Carol.

I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful Fiona.
