Mary and Jim, what a beautiful tribute to Bailey. Thank you so much for sharing his story with us. Our thoughts are with you and the family and am so sorry for another loss in such a short time. Fiona, Lucy and Bailey romping at the bridge...............No words to comfort you but know you are in our thoughts. Love, Sharon and Bart

Jan so very sorry to read this about Sweet. How fortunate Sweet found your home and was spoiled and loved so much. A beautiful tribute to this little girl. Our thoughts and prayers are with CG

we had a gh with LS and she dragged a foot. We put a bootie on the foot so it would not hurt her dragging her food. She walked fine on the walks but we did not go far and yest she did better when she was moving than when she was standing still. We would like her rest when we stopped at a bench and then we held her up with our knee while we were sitting to take the pressur off the back legs. Her tummy would rest on our knee.

We use the raw goat's milk from Answers. Here is more information about the safety. In the store-search section is a list of the stores that carry Answers products. I've been giving the raw goat's milk for a while now and everyone loves it and does well with it.
I too use it from answers which I can buy at the local vet's office. I have a senior who is now a picky eater. I think the goat's milk helps.

You were responsible for every single camper who followed you here, and I miss you every day sweet boy. You made it to 14.1 and today you would be16. Pagliaccio. Pal

Jan, I still have the framed picture of Pal in the living room next to Brandi, Lexi and Jamison. I am so thankful you sent me that picture.

There is a surgery to have warts and corns removed. My Mariah had it done when she was in rescue. I would not do it again. The healing time before she could walk again was a long long time
Hey folks, thank you all for writing. I have been on the "corn group" forever. These corns are not little, bitty things. They have about crippled my large male, DaVid. I have tried everything on the market to help both of the hounds. Lady's are very small and she is not hurting as much as he is. I think anyone that knows me on this forum, knows that I never give up!! But, I am not the one that is barely able to move off his bed. And, not to argue with anyone, but these corns hurt like hell with no relief in sight.
Please just sign me off of this forum and off of Greytalk forever. People that judge are so sad. Nan Wallace
Sorry you are signing off of the forum and GT forever. Yes there are people that will judge but you just have to ignore them.

Another vote here for coconut oil. I buy it from Tropical Traditions on line. They often have sales.
I save my empty yogurt cups (Oikos and Chobani as they are wide mouthed) put a tablespoon or so in the cup, refrigerate it until cold and firm, and give it to my greys. They love it, and it gives them something to do for a few minutes while they lick it out of the cup.
Of course, any cup would do. I am thinking it might work in a Kong too, but haven't tried that yet.
I second Tropical Traditions and buy it when it is 2 for 1 on sale.

We had no ideat that our gh was facing kidney issues until he stopped eating and of course was losing weight. We did the full blood panel which showed high level of creatine.

raw goat's milk
-
We do the raw goat's milk which I purchase at my vet's office. We started giving it to our 12 y.o. gh who is becoming very hard to feed as she has had some medical issues this year. Each a.m. and p.m. we were wondering if she would eat and what she would eat as we were trying so many things. So I went back to giving her the goat milk and she has eaten every meal with it in it.

My first gh in 1996 was diagnosed too late. My vet thought it was allergies. Long story short if I could go back I would have considered having the tie back done. Sarah, the gh, died a horrible death due to LP and it will live with me the rest of my life. We were driving back from California from seeing a vet for something else (and that is the vet that told me that day that she had LP) and headed home to Nevada. Sarah was so stressed out from the vet appt and was panting so hard she was having a horrible time trying to breathe. She was gasping for air and my only thought was to try and get her to ER ASAP. It was too late by the time we got to ER. They iced her and trying to give her life back. They said she had something similar to a heat stroke. 2 days at ER we said goodbye. So would I do the tie back I WOULD

This is good news. At least a UTI can be fixed.*** Update **
Gomie is at the vet, and they called to say he has a urinary tract infection.. they said his lever looked a littel small on the x-rays so they are going to do some more blood work. They said he has a slight fever of 102.9 - I took his temp last, late yesterday and it was 100.3. Fever may be in part due to NOT being happy at the vet.
they will call me back.
Assume this is UTI is cause of initial not eating.

OMG you have got to LOVE this family that took this dog in and gave it great TLC and medical. I can only imagine the cost of the medical care.

Any one giving their senior gh this supplement? If so does 225 mg for medium sized dog, 52 lbs, sound correct. Thanks.

Dear Mary, I am so very sorry that you had to let Fiona go and very sorry to hear that she had such a bad reaction to this chemo treatment. I know there are no words to comfort you and Jim and the family. Thank DOG she had a wonderful life with you. Sweet memories but not enough of them. My heart goes out to all of you and pups left behind to pick up the pieces. I will be in touch with you again by phone or email. Sending cyperspace hugs..........................

Friends of mine swear by See Spot Run - order on Amazon.

Hi Jason I am Sharon and I am a recovering greyhound alcoholic.

I had a 10 y.o. gh with a great spirit and the will to live. Only problem she had was the weak hind legs. She lost her muscle tone at age 3 when she was suddenly paralyzed but she did walk again. We did acupuncture and chiro on her for 7 years and I think it made a difference in her hind legs
-
I had heard how beneficial it was too and my three pups get in in each meal. I buy the Answers product which I purchase at my vet's office. Have I seen any difference - no.

A beautiful tribute. Thinking of you Jan and the CG's
-
Jan, there are no words that I can give you to comfort you. I am so very sorry. I know all your gh's are special to you but there was something about Seamie that really caught your heart and soul. Godspeed Seamie and may the wind always be at your back. I am sure that Seamie has caught up with the rest of CG at the bridge. I hope he shows you a sign.

I would have a friend come over with her dog and go to the back yard. Hopefully your friend's dog might have to poop and once the scent is there perhaps your dog will poop. Another suggestion get some poop from your friend's dog and put it in the yard and let your dog sniff it. Of course when your dog does his first poop make a big deal out of it.

OMG the conversation is over already?????? I do let my 12 1/2 y.o. off leash in the front yard in a cul-de-sac on a 1/2 acre. She does not walk very fast and I could catch her in a heart beat. If I had a younger gh I probably would not let it off the leash. When ever our group adopts out a gh to a new family one of the things we put in their welcome packet is the article "trust is a deadly disease"
