[Update On Da Bones]

I think you should start writing a book on his (Bones) and other peoples greyhounds escapades........

 

Just an idea!

 

Maybe when published donate some of the proceeds to a greyhound rescue charity

[What Brand Of Dog Food Do You Feed Your Greyhounds - Revisited]

We feed our greyhound and lurcher (deerhound x greyhound)

Jollyes lifestage adult large breed

 

www.jollyes.co.uk

 

Obviously we add topping for encouragement i.e. fish, veg, cheese, pasta, rice, bits of cooked chicken etc

 

Plus they get the odd training treat and doggie biscuits now and again.

 

Basically spoiled rotten..........

 

 

[Our Experience With Bloat]

Very thoughtful to post this topic. Glad your Bailey will be ok.

 

On a similar note my greyhound appeared uncomfortable the other night for half an hour or so and was eating grass, walking up and down asking to go outside in the garden all the time, panting, tummy noises, burped a couple of times etc. Generally was just not settling.....

 

I have some Kaogel on hand from my vet and I gave him this and massaged his tummy gently for a good while - he released smelly gas (politely put) from his rear and was fine after this. Although I watched him carefully just in case afterwards he soon settled down........

 

It's scary reading about bloat - I have a raised feeder and he is on kibble but I limit his water intake after he eats.

 

I wondered if it was the beginnings of bloat and whether i'd reversed it by my actions i.e. massaging the tummy gently?

 

Comments appreciated

I'm sat here typing with my adopted grey's head leaning on me thinking how i'd feel if it were mine.
