I would urge you to consider looking into giving him the ubiqinol form of CoQ10. It has been shown to not only prevent heart disease, but reverse the effects of it. Below is an excerpt from the following website.
Internationally, there have been at least nine placebo controlled studies on the treatment of heart disease with CoQ10:two in Japan,two in the United States, two in Italy, two in Germany, and one in Sweden. All nine of these studies have confirmed the effectiveness of CoQ10 as well as its remarkable safety. There have now been eight international symposia on the biomedical and clinical aspects of CoQ10 (from 1976 through 1993). These eight symposia comprised over 300 papers presented by approximately 200 different physicians and scientists from 18 different countries. The majority of these scientific papers were Japanese (34%), with American (26%), Italian (20%) and the remaining 20% from Sweden, Denmark, Germany, United Kingdom, Belgium, Australia, Austria, France, India, Korea, Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, USSR, and Finland. The majority of the clinical studies concerned the treatment of heart disease and were remarkably consistent in their conclusions: that treatment with CoQ10 significantly improved heart muscle function while producing no adverse effects or drug interactions. It should be mentioned that a slight decrease in the effectiveness of the blood thinner, coumadin, was noted in a case by a Norwegian clinician. This possible drug - CoQ10 interaction has not been observed by other investigators even when using much higher doses of CoQ10 for up to seven years and involving 25 patients treated with coumadin concomitantly with CoQ10 (this is still, as of this date, unpublished data).
The efficacy and safety of CoQ10 in the treatment of congestive heart failure, whether related to primary cardiomyopathies or secondary forms of heart failure, appears to be well established. The largest study to date is the Italian multicenter trial, by Baggio et al., involving 2664 patients with heart failure.

White light and healing thoughts to your girl.

I am heartbroken at this news.
I remember him from the MH I attended in 2012. There was such a cheerfulness about his person that was infectious.
-
I've been following your thread from the very beginning and although I hadn't posted earlier my thoughts and healing wishes have been with Red. I'm so glad to know he is improving and pray it continues in that direction.
I would also along with the others who've already mentioned it strongly encourage you to give him Manuka honey. It did wonders for the intestinal problems my grey Nadir suffered with. With him skipping a meal made things worse. I don't know how many times after refusing to eat because his stomach was troubling him I would give him a teaspoon or two of Manuka honey and he would almost immediately start eating. It seemed to soothe whatever was irritating his digestive tract.
-
Sounds like he's making himself right at home.
-
I would probably treat him for the giardia again with Panacur as was mentioned even if the stool shows clear of giardia. I would also look at his liver function. Yellow stools in addition to be caused by giardia are also a sign of liver problems.
-
What a sweet face he has. It's sad about his owner dying and him ending up at the pound, but I wonder if the daughter even knew to call a greyhound group to return him to.
I know this may sound crazy, but do his ears look like they've been cropped to anyone else besides me? I don't think I've ever seen such short ears on a greyhound.
-
And look how many greyhounds have been helped with gabapentin when it was not developed for pain management, but for seizure control. I'm not going to argue if he is hypothyroid or not, but clearly taking a low dosage appears to be helping his behavioral issues.

What a beautiful girl and such a perfect collar your friend has made for her
. So glad to hear she is doing well overall. -
A beautiful girl, inside and out. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My heart aches along with yours

Sending out healing thoughts to Johnny and hope that it is nothing more than a sprain.
-
I've mentioned it before, but I'll say it again. You should really try giving him some Manuka honey. It may not clear up his problem alone, but it will help.
-
I'm hoping she's feeling better now that the cephalexin has had time to get out of her system. Nadir had a similar reaction to it also and like Polly he couldn't afford to lose weight as it was. Please let us know how she is doing, I do worry when I don't see any updates. In the meantime my continued good thoughts are with Polly and you.
-
I wonder if it could be Sundowner's syndrome.
-
Jan, I can't answer which is best, but I have used both for Nadir with good results. I used a 16 UMF rated honey to heal a badly infected pressure sore and I used a 400+ MGO rated honey for his intestinal problems.
Judy, thanks for the link to the article explaining the difference between the two. I'm going to make sure to bookmark it.
Edited to correct MGO rate

Truman I've been thinking about you and wondering how things went since yesterday. So glad things were not as bad as you thought they were going to be.

OK..............no fast shipping for me. I ordered about 10 days ago and nothing here yet. So far not impressed with their "fast shipping". It was 4 days after I placed the order that I got an email saying it had been shipped. Guess it was sent by turtle. Waiting.
I would contact someone at Chewy about your order. The 4 days is understandable in that if you placed your order on a Thursday they would having delayed shipment until Monday, as they do not provide for weekend deliveries. Ten days however, is way too long even accounting for that.
-
It might be good to give his digestive system a rest and not feed him anything else until after he's seen the vet. I know certain results can be skewed if the dog has not fasted.
-
Sounds like something is going on with his stomach to cause him to refuse food. I'm glad your able to get him in early tomorrow. Hope your vet can figure out what is going on.
If he's feeling sick after eating he's going to associate the food he's just eaten with the way he feels and thus not want to eat any more of it. I have found that Manuka honey works really well to soothe the digestive tract.
Sending white light that it is nothing serious.
-
Hope it is a good week. It goes without saying, but treasure each moment.

I'm sorry to hear this

Please let Carol's mom know others are thinking of her and mourning her loss.
