    One of my girls, Kara, manages to come in with assorted scrapes and minor cuts from time to time. ahicks51's advice is great. Some greys don't take well to the collars, though. I had one girl that was absolutely terrified by it and would refuse to eat with it on.

    Glad to hear Casper is improving. I hope he makes a full recovery

    My greys have been spared, but I had a cat that had a close encounter of the skunk kind. Tomato juice definitely helped (although not if you had asked the cat).

    No bloat here, either. After meal exercise with my girls usually consists of a leisurely stroll to the nearest dog bed. From what I've read, bloat is more of a problem in AKC greys.

    Pobably a bit of both, but I'd be inclined to think it may be more kidney related. My girls are 8 and one, Nadia, is also on Enalapril (along with Digoxyn and Diltiazem for a heart condition). Nadia does get frequent pit stops, though, since I work from home.

    No experience with tapesworms in dogs, but my outdoor cat (affectionately known as "bunny breath") used to get them from time to time. I'd hold off on any medication for now.

    My vet hasn't said anything one way or the other. I did have them vaccinated when I was thinking of kenneling them while I was on vacation, but I don't do it routinely.

    I give the girls Interceptor once a month, every month around the first. I also have them tested as part of their routine annual check up (belt-and suspenders, I guess). I set a reminder in Outlook.

    They don't call 'em cat box crunchies for nothing

    I wouldn't take the chance. Probably not harmful but no longer effective, either.

    One of my girls had a cut pad. The vet used dissolving sutures and we kept the bandage on for about a week as I recall. I do remember having to "bag" her foot to kep the bandage dry when she went out. Poor girl was embarrassed to go out wearing a convenience store bag. Pad cuts do take a while to heal.

    LOL... guess I'll quit complaining about the occasional SBD... ope the vet sorts it out

    The fairly quick onset sure sounds like a TBD or environmental toxin. Could he have gotten into something in the yard? I sure hope he recovers soon.

    My red girl, Nadia, has a few and they do seem to be multiplying (or maybe I need to clean my glasses... )

    Honey and Nadia get an annual cleaning. Kara, poor girl, has almost none left. She was a bounce and her teeth were in terrible shape when I got her. She had major dental work, but needed more in less than six months. So, it really depends on the dog. Your vet should tell you if/when a dental is needed, but if in doubt, ask.

    Honey - if she is really excited about going out for a walk or a ride Kara - not yet, although I only adopted her a bit over a year ago Nadia - just the occasional loud "yelp" if I fail to let her in in what she considers a timely fashion

    My three girls get 1 1/2 cups twice a day. All just turned eight. Kara is small and slim (about 60 lbs), Honey is my big girl (about 70 lbs, sop I've started reducing her food a bit) and Nadia, at 65 lbs is in the middle. Honey and Kara get Proplan lamb and rice. Nadia gets Science Diet beef and rice.
