Got scared by the title, wondered why you need a canine removal and then realized it's a tooth! To be fair, a canine tooth (let alone all 4 at once) is not an easy extraction, but I do not have direct experience with this. I'm certain more will chime in. Wealth of knowledge here. At her age I would be concerned going ahead with this surgery. Good on you for getting all of your information prior to proceeding. Gentle scritches to Ginger!

Great peanut poop story. Sorry you lost your boy.

Aiden 1-5 - how is the suture removal?

Dogs have ways of communicating....this was one of them. And many of us have been there, done that. Sorry you got bit but clearly he was feeling protective of his paws. Did you find anything?

Share receipe please!

He never does, I'm pretty pleased, but it also means he's tired and will be a hurting unit tonight. He's on his side too, and with a PUPPY on the cot sharing with him. AWH!

Yeah, they go away for a couple hours. Back now! Ry is still standing but I can see he's kinda tired....he's not playing follow the leader as much. Hopefully he'll sleep well tonight, he just laid down on the cot!

Nope. Usually if he drinks I know he should go out in about an hour so I just be aware of when he does drink. If it's bedtime, he can have a sip but not drain the bowl. He usually doesn't drink before bed though so we're alright. Once we're tucked in, he doesn't get up until morning with me.

He might look fawn cuz of all his grey's and lightening hair, but deep down inside he's a red Glad the link worked for you. I can never seem to get it to work on my computer, but can on my tablet just fine!

Mister Ryder is in for a full day today for the first time! You'll find him in the Toybox with a bunch of little dogs.....the bigger dogs have way too much energy. He's also in there with his favourite handler, but it's the first time he's been in this room in particular. http://www.dogtopia....owvale/webcams/

Carry some pieces of cut up hot dog in your pocket and reward every time you walk in the door. That should get some attention. It might have to do with something your husband routinely does that your pup likes but you might not be doing something he likes routinely. I'm with ya though, I'm always the bad cop and do all the un-fun things like nail clipping etc, so I am not perceived in the same light I think. Make sure hubby is both good and bad cop, and that you are too.

Wow, what a greyt house for a dog to be in! The pic of Cody really made me laugh and swoon. What a cutie. Welcome to GT!

If he ate faster than normal, it could also have been some acid reflux? I tend to avoid feeding immediately after activity and as long as the dog is panting - this in my mind is the best prevention. Once they are calmed down, it is the best time to feed. However, bloat can strike out of the blue as well, so you can eliminate the chances but it could still happen. Deep chested dogs just happen to be more prone to it than other breeds.

Ryder only ever knew a house with another greyhound and when Kasey passed away he changed dramatically. He was his rock. Mind you, he didn't have severe changes to diet etc that you are describing, mostly he has "emotional" issues. I don't think he'll ever psychologically be the same unless I get another grey to keep him company.

How long have you had Goldie? Has she only known being in a house with another grey and never solo?

Good stuff.

I am leaning towards this sentiment as well.

Did I maybe miss the thread (if a new one was started) of our little patient? How is he? Or is it this Friday?

Kasey was never a great boating dog, he also was never a fan of the water. We tried on a family weekend, and he just wasn't built for it. The water was also rough and he would not settle and lay down on the boat when traveling. His one and only boating experience that day wasn't the best for humans either, so when you do get your pup, make sure to introduce him/her to the boat on a very calm day, and head out for a short day trip. If the dog can't handle that, you'll know. This doesn't mean that all greyhounds can't do boats. They have varying personalities, some are way more courageous and some are more laid back and some are rather timid of motion and noise. Ryder LOVES the water, but I never got him into a boat to check out how he would fare. As mentioned above, ensure that you tell your adoption group about your desire to have a boating dog and the people that know the greyhound the best will be able to figure out if that dog has the right personality for what you are looking for. A life jacket is a must. I'm also not sure you want to lift a grey on and off the boat all the time. Ryder for example weighs in at 75 lbs. They can usually walk right on like humans do. No idea about going to the bathroom. We swam out to an island and he went there. Greys (like most dogs) treat their home like their crate and likely will not soil it. Might have to train them to use one part with artificial grass and or pee pads.

I've been thinking about Summit lately. How is he doing?

Oh dear. Well, after this he won't have any more problems with it! Thinking of you guys.

Chicken does cause problems in many dogs. Can you switch to pork or beef? Turkey is not in the same "family" so that is also an option.

YAY!!! I personally suffered from IBD in my teens and I can tell you it is no picnic. Even drinking water wouldn't agree with me. Have you been able to find out what kind of dietary trigger she might have? Is she always regurging the same stuff? Food trials are never fun. Try to start perhaps with a Limited Ingredient Diet and build off of that? Are you feeding kibble or raw? I see you mention homemade, but what was she having before?

I can't help, but good for you to know better Can't believe they give info like that out to people without direction.

Is there any updates on this?
