My greyhound will need a dental cleaning in 2022. I want to prepare for it. I live in Chicago. The area dentists charge at least $500 and the sky is the limit. I am an attorney so that just adds $1000 to any bill because they think they can..... I am willing to drive to WI or MI for a great vet who is specifically dedicated or knowledgeable about greyhounds. Please do not recommend the vet who volunteers with Greyhounds Only. She is a butcher and should not have a license to practice, in my opinion. I looked on the vet list and did not see anyone who jumped out at me. I have owned (or been owned by) greyhounds for over 15 years. I would prefer a vet who does gentle dentals, sort of non sedation but regular vets rail against this because they say the vet scrapes the teeth and can cause serious dental damage. I have a great Chicago vet but their prices are crazy high and I am not confident that they understand although my dog's vet does get the differences between greyhounds and other dogs. Ideas? Thanks so very very much.

Digestive explosion with hook worms????
lizjaye replied to lizjaye's topic in Health and Medical discussion
So it's not frequent food change. He has been on Eukanuba for 6 months. 2 weeks ago I slowly transitioned him off eukanuba to IAMS lamb. No problem. NOW with the hookworm it's been a very bad 3 days. My question is 2 parts. 1. Other than the diarrhea protocol which I have followed to the letter. is there anything else I can do 2. When we get to the other side, can I transition him from IAMS lamb to Purina Proplan sensitive stomach lamb..... -
Hi all, Gustav Klimt, soon to be 3 year old greyhound. I was feeding him Eukanuba but I stopped to move him to lamb/rice combo which I use IAMS. All was fine transition went perfect. Poop was really good. Sunday, he had a hookworm breakout (saw the shiny covering on his poop and went uh oh). So the transition was 2 weeks old so I don't think it's the food because this diarrhea is continuing. I have him on rice, and I/D Hills Turkey sensitive stomach food (canned). Today (Wednesday) this morning he was better but still not "formed". I started goat dewormer on Sunday and am continuing. Any thoughts? I was going to move to Purina sensitive stomach lamb/rice. ???? Thanks! Liz

Thank you TBhounds. You are now the 2nd person in about an hour who recommended budsonide. I will check on that ASAP. Morrie is getting B-12 injections weekly (that just started_. I'm freaking out because his Albumin level has dropped. It was 2.3 about 3 weeks ago and as of Saturday it was down to 1.9. I just also did some research and found out about eggs and feed 2 hard boiled eggs to Morrie tonight. You are so wonderful. This gives me something to moves towards. I do not have an internist yet. I will need one. Tha t too is my next step when the upping the prednisone to 50 mg two times a day does not work.

I'm double posting this because of the urgency. Our friend moved to Sioux FAlls S. Dakota and just emailed her dog's xrays. There is zero doubt that the greyhound has osteo - almost a complete gap where the tumor is. We would like to help her (we're in Chicago) find a compassionate vet who will do in home euthanasia because the dog could break his leg at any moment. Text me at 312-252-0770 Thanks, Liz

So this is probably a goofy thought. My beautiful new friend, Morrie, is up for his rabbies. So I want to take him in for his shot. His other shots expire in October. Do I do everything together or go back in October. I'll get the 3 year rabbies (he's 4 now). Thanks!

I am so sorry to read about Specky's passing. You have my deepest condolences.

I know it just takes your breath away. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

I think he was holding me for the past few days. On Sunday, the sun shone soooo bright and I felt him leave me to go to his final resting place. He led a wonderful life, particularly the last 7 months. Thanks you for your thoughts. I hope the same thing. Thank you. I liked to think they came from Garth but they were certainly inspired by him. He taught me how to look at the world through his eyes with love and patience.

Donna: My heart breaks for you and your family. Joe was one of a kind and a good soul. I loved hearing about his hijinks! I hope you find peace and good memories. Liz J.

Marc: I have no doubt that Garth has settled in to a wonderful place where he is surrounded by dogs large and small and they run free, eating crab grass (Garth's favorite) and smelling beautiful flowers, waiting for us to join them.

Yes, it is so sad. Garth was one of the original unruly boys. Thank you for your kind words
