Kc
in Remembrance
I am so sorry. I know how much you will miss him. My first greyhound was named K.C. Her racing name was AMI a kc hound. Let's think about the two K.C.'s playing at the bridge, and all of the friends they will meet. -
Prayers and good thoughts for Eli.....I hope they can find out what the problem is and fix it quickly.

Carla and Mr. Skorch are fine, but June Bug is very itchy. I would like to give the Benedryl a try. Do you only give one? She weighs around 63 lbs.

Your girl is beautiful -- and what a lucky girl she is to have found your counch all the way from Spain....

It's so nice to read some good news. Lots of hugs - - for Rusty....keep those potatoes coming. I know they taste good -- I like Kentucky Fried mashed potatoes myself when I'm sick too.

I am so sorry. Let's pray that there is something that the doctor can do.

Didn't he have a dental before you adopted him? Our group includes a dental.
Can you take him to the groomer to get his nail cut?
No, Mr. Skorch did not have a dental before I adopted him. He was a return. There was no adoption fee; just a donation for him.
The vet trimmed what he could, but his one nail is about an inch long. It sticks out straight, doesn't curl, and the toe next to the long one has no nail at all.
If he's pretty calm, the vet should be able to scale that tooth without putting him under.As for the toenail, if you/groomer/vet just clips it back as far as possible without quicking him ... and then, every day or at most every other day you take it right back down to the quick with a dremel or nail file ... the quick will start to recede. It takes 2-3 weeks to start seeing results and you can't skip days, but it works. Eventually the quick will come back to a reasonable point and you/groomer/vet will be able to cut that nail to an appropriate length.
Good luck!
Thanks, Jey...
Mr. Skorch needs to go back in for a lyme booster. I'll talk with the vet at that time.
His toe nail is totally black and you can't see the quick. To top it off, the nail is straight and doesn't have that little curve to it. I just don't want to hurt him. All of his other toenails are fine.

We've had Mr. Skorch for a month. He had a clean bill of health, but he has one extremely long toenail. The vet casually said that he would be able to cut the toenail back if we decide to have a dental. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I've checked his teeth, and they are beautiful except for one on the lower side that is covered with white tartar. None of his teeth have brown stains.
Has anyone ever had just one tooth cleaned. Can the vet do this without putting him under?
I will ask the vet the next time Mr. Skorch goes in, but just curious.
Sorry if this is a stupid question.

A Dyson -- forget about it -- go for the dog every time.

If you ever visit Wisconsin, I would love to go for a walk with you. Hiking is definitely out of the question....

This is so sad.

Now that your heart is back in your chest.......
These things are scary. Glad that Major is going to be okay, although I know it would ease your mind if you knew what happened.
Good thoughts for both of you.

What a handsome and fun boy you have.

Your dogs are gorgeous!

What a beautiful girl. She looks like my KC who was my first grey...

I am so sorry. This cancer thing is just terrible. I've lost three to cancer. I wish I had the words to make you feel better. Prayers from Wisconsin.

Your hounds are beautiful....

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my big boy in December and my heart is still broken. They just don't live long enough....

Sending good thoughts and prayers that Freddie is okay. He's my very favorite Greytalk hound.
