Jr Grey lover

Jr Grey lover (5/9)

  1. on rechecking his bp one month later Dr doubled his dosage, sure has not helped my issue
  2. 3yo foster male. elevated blood pressure at 200, Vet has him on blood pressure meds . Glucose is normal so no diabetes. UTI clear. Having to wear belly band 24/7 with incontinence pad. was neutered 1 1/2 yrs ago . Came with bunch of NGA dogs from a blood bank in Calif. Goes out to yard every 3-4 hours and can still fill the pad. Can't figure this one out. Just not adoptable at this point
  3. Our last guy had CCL for 2 years. It was caught with bloodwork for a dental. Vet says it was the better blood disease to have. Acute is almost deadly within weeks diagnosis. There was no cure or treatment for chronic CCL. His blood work declined month after month however no symptoms ever showed. We let him go a day early than a day late, as the saying goes. Vet said he should not even be standing up with his lousy blood value.
  4. Yes the good old days. Driving out to p/u a new foster every month or two. We managed over 70 in the past. Some good ,some so so. We made a difference in THEIR lives and they ours. I currently own 3 and a standard poodle. After our group shut down, I joined up with an active group in Tarpon Springs. They have been getting greys from Ark, Iowa and W Virginia. Dozens have come in from Ireland. We did foster 2 from Ireland. They are not the same as our American kids. All they want to eat is bangers and mash and Bushmills
  5. try Gold Coast Greyhound Adoptions in Tarpon Springs Tampa Bay area. retirees from northern tracks, Irish imports, and Galgo mixes from Spain.
  6. Gold Coast Greyhounds has American and Irish dogs. They are in Tarpon Springs but dogs are in foster homes in tri-county. I have 2 from them in the past year. My foster from them is going to a home in Savannah. You must put in Application to get the ball rolling. Allegent flys into St Petersburg. ( my location) Rent a car and drive back to Punta Gorda
  7. I would. But I never had a grey live past 12. If you can handle vet costs go ahead. There was a grey in Florida ( Genie,I think lived to 18 or 19).
  8. Just picked up my 7yo fawn at vet in Clearwater Dental with no extractions 590. Cutting out 2 dime size lipomas/adenomas with medication 555. Includes send off for lab check.
  9. I have been using Advantage Multi for over a year. I switched to Frontline Plus after a month of flea infestation. Now need to add Heartguard.  Sprayed the yard, sprayed and steam cleaned area rugs. Nothing is working this Spring. I spray the dogs with Adams on walks and nothing is working. I fear overmedicating them.

     

  10. I have found having a group member leave a confident hound for a sleep over. Could be a weekender. Or just tough it out. I have done many with Time and a bottle!
  11. With 4 dogs, none are crated. They have full run of the house all day and never a problem. Maybe I got lucky. 3 won't even get on furniture. Only crates I needed were for a few fosters
  12. I picked up the sweetest little girl from Craig's List. She is mine now! Fly Hilary Duff
