  1. You might want to look at the website for Precise Pet Foods and see if they have anything that meets your needs. http://precisepet.com/ Rocket has done well on both the Precise Foundation Chicken Meal and Rice, as well as their Senior Kibble. We ultimately got his tummy issues under control with Tylan, but he did best on these foods for longer time periods than on other foods. Now, with the addition of Tylan, the food is working great for him. The various foods can be a little hard to find depending on your location, but we are able to order from WAG.com and Petflow. If we were in a larger city, we probably wouldn't have to order online, as it seems they have plenty of dealers in major cities. I am also able to have a local Feed and Tack store order it for me. .
  2. I wouldn;t put anything slippery on there. It could case a fall or startle.
  3. I loved Sequoia posts. She will be missed by many. Run free sweet Sequoia.
  4. I'm sorry that Lazer had to leave. Run free, Lazer.
  5. For Gas Pains - GasX works better. just make sure to get the kind that is plain Gas-X, not Acid control or other varieties. You will usually hear a loud belch shortly after giving it. Pepto is fine for diarrhea. I usually start with 1 tablet and see how it goes. I will give a second one if it persists. Pepto will turn tongue and stool black. Nothing to be alarmed about. You might need to put the Pepto tablet in cheese. I would start with the Gas X and monitor from there.
  6. Definitely a vet check first. Then if you need to re-home her, contact your original adoption group. If your group no longer exists, or you are unable to contact them for any reason, post your location here. There are numerous people here affiliated with groups who can connect you with someone who will have your pup's best interest in mind when they re-home her. It is important that the group find the right home, especially if she continues to have issues that need to be dealt with. There is no harm or shame in returning her if that's what has to be done. The safety of your family, and your greyhound may depend on it. As much as we all hate to think about having to return one of our hounds, it may ultimately be a lifesaving decision for your hound. Good luck, I hope it all works out for you.
  7. Given the experience you've had with local vets, you might consider a consult with the diagnostic clinics at either Penn State Vet Med in State College, or U Penn Vet Med in Philly. I've always heard great things about both of them. Good luck. Hope you can get some relief for Dylan.
  8. Search for the term Lure Pole. I know that there are some people here who use them. Found this on YouTube
  9. Just seeing this now. It's important that he get oxygen and that they get the fluids out of him with diuretics so he can breathe and get oxygen to his system. From your description, he is in severe distress. I know it's hard to have him in a tent where you can't comfort him, but the oxygen is what he needs. Thinking good thoughts for Lazer.
  10. Was just posting the same thing. make sure to check the paws for a cut, corn, sprained toe, etc.
  11. The main hazard will be if it comes back up and blocks his windpipe. I would call your vet for further instructions. He may want you to give bread but I wouldn't do it without checking. Here's the MSDS sheet on 3M Painters Tape. If it was a different brand, Google the brand name and MSDS. You should find the sheet that will advise of ingestion side effects. http://www.c2f.com/msds/MMM-PaintersTape.pdf
  12. Maybe try some clicker training. Lots of good info on it if you search the site for that term. Good luck!
  13. Bag balm? Just a thought. It seems to work for lots of similar things.
  14. This has been discussed a little bit already in this thread. http://forum.greytalk.com/index.php/topic/305245-mason-has-a-dental-and-possible-tooth-extraction-tomorrow/
  15. Rocket said that Mason still needs extra ice cream.
  16. Good luck Mason! milk it for all it's worth afterward (lots of ice cream).
  17. Run pain free, Mork. You will be missed by many.
