I am so sorry....I will truly miss him. Sending kisses to heaven for Rocket....hugs to you!

I am so very sorry. What a horrible, shocking thing to discover. Please accept my sincere sympathies. Sending virtual hugs...

I am so sorry for your loss! I adored the pictures you took of her; she had a special style and charisma that shone through all those photographs. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Does he need to pee? I get the 1 am pacing from time to time and a quick pee break seems to solve the problem.

Visible results in a greyhound? is that even possible? If it enhances current functioning then I would expect more creative roaching positions, perhaps.

I just looked up the product insert for Adequan. It says it is to be given as an intramuscular injection twice weekly. I think it would be best to clarify this with the vet and get a lesson about intramuscular injection technique if needed

I am an RN. I would suggest a 25 gauge 5/8" needle. That would be plenty long enough considering that greyhound skin is thin and they don't have a lot of subcutaenous fat either. What is the preferred location for such an injection? The back of the neck or shoulder? These seem to be the easiest places to properly pick up a pocket of skin to ensure the injection actually winds up in the space under the skin.

I was wondering if she has a yeast infection.

There are 3 whippets in my neighbourhood. All are delightful, if you like exuberant, high energy dogs, but they seem to be a handful to train and manage. I love my calm, regal, friendly greyhound!

May all the blessings you have conferred on this dog be returned to you a hundredfold! Coopernikis is gorgeous. Please give him some ear rubs from me. edited for spelling

Please accept my sincere condolences. We are all going to miss seeing pictures of Tibbie. She was one of the cutest and sweetest.

Yep, she looks completely at peace in your home. What a sweet and pretty hound! Congrats!

Gentle scritches to your hounds! One woman angrily yelled at me "that dog needs some steak!" as she flew by on her bike. No chance for education there! I hope your sign is taken seriously and your concerned neighbours allow themselves to be educated. Maybe you could add some pictures of healthy greyhounds so they could compare. I think there was a picture of a genuinely underweight greyhound somewhere on this site - now that was truly heartbreaking!

Wow. Just shows how sensitive and emotional they can be. I am glad things are back to normal and I hope they have a long and loving time with you both. Welcome to the club!

Ditto re shedding - It's like a second spring shed! Silky usually blows her coat in March and August but this time it seems very copious with more flaking. Missing Link seems to help the dryness.

Most sincere condolences for the loss of Moose

Sincere condolences for your loss....she was a lovely girl.

When my grey had UTI last summer, other dogs showed an intense interest in her backside (licking etc by more than one dog) and I felt compelled to keep her away from the park until she was healed. There was no mounting, however. She had been off the track for two years at that point.

What a mystery! Your location is not listed. Do you live in an area that might have snakes, large insects or unusual wildlife that is coming out of hibernation? Was it dark outside? Do you live in an urban or rural situation (thinking groundhogs, racoons, rats, porcupines)? If she was near a shed perhaps something quickly crossed her path and startled her. Is Molly old enough to consider doggie dementia?

What a pretty girl! Congratulations to you both! She is one lucky pup!

We used sugar right up to the 70's and then it fell out of favour. In the last couple of years I have been seeing a lot of use of Medi-Honey on humans. it is being prescribed by physicians, enterostomal therapists and chiropodists mainly for ulcers with infection. It does seems to induce a lot of drainage initially but as the infection clears, the drainage decreases. BTW, we advise our human patients to ensure they get protein at every meal and supplement with zinc and vit C to promote wound healing. Would love to know the vet perspective on this as it applies to hound healing.
