My vet said no to tennis balls. She said it was terrible on the enamel.

Sounds like allergies. My hound, Lady, used to do that until the Vet and I figured out she was allergic to beef, chicken and turkey. Could also be an infection in the ears.
-
It took my female a couple of years to play with toys. She came from a home that had 5 kids under 7 years old, so I figure that every time she grabbed a toy, they took it from her.
-
limited ingredients such as Lamb and Oatmeal is what I give my allergic dog. Also, Venison (raw) She cannot have beef, chicken, turkey or quail. Best of luck.

My vet and also Charleston Speciality Vet said they would not do a nerve block on my hounds. My vet hulled them a couple of days ago and for the first time in over a year they are not limping. I know it will only last a couple of days. All of the other hulls in the last year have not given them any relief.

I just put the food down and walk away. Why would I want to take it back? Same way with an Honest Kitchen Beam. I give it to them and that is that.

I know it would be a pain, but could you put him in the car and take him a block or two? Just for a week or so until he settles down. Maybe really smelly treats for a while..Bits of hotdogs or cheese or little pieces of Honest Kitchen Beams (cut them with scissors). Maybe too many news things happening at once. Just my thoughts.

One of my hounds wears the Seresto large dog collar for fleas and Heartguard Plus for heart worms. The other one gets Advantage Multi. No problems here. The collar lasts for 8 months.

Turkey necks here.

My two have been on Gabapentin for about 2 years now. They take 200mg in the morning and 200mg at night. It definitely has helped both of them. But, that is all they take, so don't know anything about Rymidal.

I have a good set up in the back of my Kia Sportage. I only use the front seat of my car. I bought a dog fence from Pet Smart and have it right behind the driver's and passenger's seat. I used two crate deviders and tie wrapped them to each other and then tie wrapped them to the dog fence from Pet Smart. Now they both have their space and are separated from each other. I keep a leash anchored on both sides of the fence. That way I can get one dog out of the car without loosing the other. This set up works for me.
-
I started out with the crate and it was a bad idea because he bent it and broke a canine tooth. So, I just baby gated my bedroom at night. That rocked on for awhile. Then I just threw in the towel and let him have the run of the house. All was well for a couple of years. Then he decided he would chew on the furniture. So I always leave him with his kennel muzzle on. It does not bother him at all. This works for us. I do have 2 crates in my room (I have two greyhounds), but the door is always open.

Hey Tia. Good to have you. I have two Greyhounds (had three, but cancer took one). Both of my hounds were rescued. I have also put in for a Galgo in Spain and I will also refer to her as rescued. As for the food, I think you are on the right track. Once you figure out what food you will be buying, Chewy.com is a great place to order. I have used it for about 2 years now with no problems. Again, welcome.

Could it be a contact allergy to bleach? That is pretty strong stuff.
-
Could she be too hot? I have to keep a box fan on my large male or he pants. I don't think it is normal to pant. What does your vet say?
-
Honest Kitchen has a treat that you might try. It is dehydrated fish skin and the ones I like are the long ones..It takes my hounds about 20 minutes to finish one off. They can be given inside because there is zero mess.
-
I ask the tech's not to shave my hounds legs for IV's. Just put them in the vein. That way they do not lick and lick the site. It will cause a terrible sore from the licking..just a thought. On the e-collar question: I have a blow up collar for my hounds, the only thing is I have never used it..I would be glad to mail it to you. Please e-mail me privately if you think you want to try it. I think it is made by Kong.

Take her to a neurologist. I used Dr. Jason King in Charleston. He operated on my hound and everything turned out great. He is on top of pain management and I have used him for both of my hounds. Both had disk surgery. Her's was near her neck and his was down near his tail.
-
Mine lasted a few days from when he started limping. I took him to Charleston and the vet there said I should amputate his leg and he would live about a year after the surgery. I did not want to do this. Could not control the pain, so put him down about 4 days after the limping started. I am the school that a day too early is much better than a day too late.
-
You might try Honest Kitchen's dried fish skin for his chewing. They really clean my grey's teeth and both like them a lot. Chewy.com has a good price on them and they will ship to your door.

I just wanted to ask if it could be about corns in their feet? I had a bunch of tests done on DaVid a while back ($3000.00 worth) and everything came back clean. Just by chance I checked his paws and he has corns on both of his back feet that were causing his pain.
-
I don't take mine to Pet Smart. One reason is the hot parking lot pavement.
-
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

He is trying to tell you by being vocal that he does not want to be lead to the crate. The next step could be a snap. Just muzzle both of them and see what happens. I have not used the crate since the second day mine were here and that was about 4 years ago.
