Howdy, sweet-faced girlie! -
Don't need four legs for eye-mouth coordination. Go, Willa! Eat all those treats that Doolin misses, too.

I'm imagining the deer sighing to each other and saying, "Well, it was a nice respite while it lasted." Best wishes for a smooth 2nd chemo.

Not going to GIG. I could ship it to you. Or you could be on the lookout for a scarecrow or tinman. Trying to figure out how to get a lion tuft to stay on the end of a houndie helicopter tail.

Amazon has a lion's mane costume on deep discount. Perfect for a certain red fawn houndie. Should I a friend buy it?

Scout was on antibiotics. I remember this because I was a poor graduate student at the time and was buying some version of tetracycline at an aquarium supply store, where it could be got without a prescription and cheaply. (Except you had to buy so much of it for a large dog that it probably was about the same cost.) Check on the omega 3 and niacinamide, which I always had to be careful not to mistake for niacin. Plus many more supplements, lost in the mists of time. Scout was with me 2004-2008. He was long-term on some of the supplements, but at least I wasn't buying out the fish store. Because they grew so quickly, his nails had to be trimmed often, which completely freaked out Scout. He was bomb-proof in all other respects, but turned into a quivering tornado at nail trim time. He didn't seem to react in pain to the actual cut (and, again, the nail consistency was relatively soft so it was an easy pressure), but maybe it had been so painful in the past that he remained afraid. I discovered by accident that he was intimidated by being in the bathtub so I would lift up my poor, stalwart guy and put him in the tub at nail time, where he just trembled in fear.

My Scout had SLO-pemphigus, which before I got him at age 9 was misdiagnosed and treated variously as a fungal and/or bacterial infection, with obviously no improvement. He was losing 1-2 nails a month, although they grew back quickly. The nails that grew back were all gnarly and had a relatively soft, chalky consistency. That misshapen appearance and the loss of memory after 15+ years make it hard for me to compare Scout's nails with the pictures of Ginger's. The 1st nail in the 1st pic comes closest. I remember the experience more than the visuals. The whole process was very speedy. He would completely shed a nail just a few days after showing symptoms of soreness. All that was left was a candlewick-shape of a dark pink quick. The replacement nail was formed super quickly. After some months of treatment following the protocol of the day, Scout went from losing 1-2 nails a month to 1-2 a year.

Mark Is Having A Dental Today - UPDATE In First Post
EllenEveBaz replied to Time4ANap's topic in Everything else Greyhound
Have them send him home with all those pulled teeth so at least Mark can get some ransom soft gifts from the Tooth Fairy. -
What a beautiful boy! Max would be so glad for you. And there is no better memorial for a loved pet than to give a home to another in need. I hope Steve and Runa become good friends.

Mark Is Having A Dental Today - UPDATE In First Post
EllenEveBaz replied to Time4ANap's topic in Everything else Greyhound
Poor Mark! Poor worried Gracie! Poor worried humans! The only way I knew Milo needed a dental one time was that he was walking past me and a molar fell on the floor. -
Have I found the greyhound unicorn?
EllenEveBaz replied to EllenEveBaz's topic in Health and Medical discussion
Dog dentals were not part of my grandparents' or parents' world, so I didn't grow up with the idea. After the shock of having (and paying for) my first two hounds' dentals, I buckled down and started brushing their teeth almost daily. None of us liked it, but we adapted and endured. Only to have them, and subsequent hounds, need dentals every 2-3 years anyway. So I gave up on brushing. It was years before I had the lightbulb thought -- shouldn't I have brushed the insides of their teeth as well as the outsides? -
Gelsey, age 7, had her annual exam yesterday. The vet pronounced her "perfect," including -- wait for it -- excellent teeth, with almost no plaque build-up. She arrived here 2 1/2 years ago with good-looking teeth, but I assumed she had had a recent dental. I did notice they were still looking good when I occasionally gave her a swipe with the dental wipes when I was cleaning Milo's (who has the typical terrible hound teeth). Gelsey does chew a lot, but Milo used to chew almost non-stop. Is Gelsey the elusive good-teeth greyhound? Or is plaque waiting to jump on her teeth all at once? Nobody pinch me -- I want to live in this dream.
