[The Emergence of Kibos Teeny Weeny .......]

Mini ETS. 💕

[My Oreo gone at only 5]

So terribly sorry. This is devastating. I’ve been in your shoes. My deepest condolences. 🥺💕

[Looking for single dish raised feeders]

Plant stands and stainless steel bowls with rubberized bottoms work well. 

[Sunday morning at A+E]

Oh, Grace!  Next time you want a manicure consult with mama first.  😘 Good thoughts for quick healing. 

[New rescue greyhound bit me......]

He’s a resource guarder and he’s only been with you four days. Give him lots of space. Let him come to you for affection. No getting on your bed or on furniture. No toys, chews etc. for the time being.  Read “Mine!” by Jean Donaldson.

Brindle confuses hoomans. 🤪

[Why Does YOUR Grey Roach?]

I’ve owned Greyhounds for about 12 years. I still am amused and amazed when they roach and contort into all manner of shapes that defy the laws of physics. 🥰😂

[Non-crunchy treats]

Teeny bites of boiled chicken.  He’ll probably just swallow it without chewing. Bits of raw ground beef. Smooshed bits of hot dog. Meat baby food. 
 

[Bury the Bully Game]

When Jenny gets a chew, like a bully stick, she paces throughout the house with the thing hanging out of her mouth like a cigar. This can continue for several minutes and over the course of several days. She will ‘bury’ the chew behind the couch cushions and under her beds sometimes skinning her nose with the effort.  She will switch hiding places several times a day.  In our house, you must be very careful where you sit so as not to be impaled by a bully stick. 😱

Do your Greys hide their food or toys?

[Fake pee?]

Jenny is a ‘fake poo-er’. She’ll assume the position then...”Nope, nope, not here”. “Maybe over there?”.

YIKES!!! Thanks for posting this. 

[Afraid of water from raised feeder?]

Edit to anyone checking this out - he also hasn't eaten this morning so I'll switch to his old feeder (was a little bit raised from the floor and a smaller bowl - https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/ergo-raised-dog-feeder?size=large)

By any chance, are his tags clattering against the sides of the bowl? Or does the bowl clatter or spin against the sides of the feeder?  That might be scaring him.

When I first took Chancey to the vet, when she was straight off the track, he commented on the size of her thigh muscles and how much bigger and stronger they were than "The other greyhounds we see here". Now, seven years later, she has become a rather wobbly old lady whose thigh muscles seem almost non existent compared to when she arrived here. She keeps trundling on, though, and loves her daily walks.

She is still capable of taking up the whole length of the settee!

My vet told me that he was a young man in veterinary school the first time he examined a Greyhound. He thought the dog’s muscles were tumors!  😱

And they can play dead. The number of time I have nearly prodded Grace to see if she's alive because she doesn't seem to be breathing....

This is especially true when their eyes are rolled back so far into their heads all you see is zombie white and their tongues are dangling two feet out of their mouths.  🤪

[I didn't want to sit down anyway!]

They can also lie on their sides and completely deflate themselves.  🥴

[Greyhound Eyes]

You could try a saline eye wash if it’s irritation from allergies or debris.  

[Lost looking for the right food!]

On the recommendation of my vet, I’ve been feeding Jenny a grain-inclusive kibble.  Fromm is an excellent brand. You can find it online at gofromm.com. Check it out. 

[Greyhound Eyes]

This reminds me a bit of ‘cherry eye’. I wonder if that eyelid isn’t irritating his eye and causing the discharge.  Best consult your vet.  Your boy might be uncomfortable.  

[Digestive explosion with hook worms????]

Just a thought...maybe the frequent changes in diet are contributing to the gastric upset? 

[Sophie went to the bridge today]

So sorry for your loss.  Run with the angels dear Sophie.  😢

[Happy 7th Birthday Licorice]

And many more dear one.  🎉🥰

[Coat problems]

I forgot to add earlier that a good, mild shampoo and conditioner work wonders, too. My vet recommended HyLyte brand.  It’s good stuff.  You can get it on Amazon. 

[Coat problems]

Try adding fish oil to his diet. I give Jenny Grizzly Omega Health,  3 pumps with each meal (twice a day).  It took about a year to get her coat looking good and flake- free. 

[I don't think my Grey is a dog park dog :/]

In my opinion, dog parks are tragedies waiting to happen.
