    Walks & Prey Drive

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    Posted

    I have fond memories of my current foster's Sarge photo shoot I was helping with for his adoption web site pics. He saw a cat, I didn't and he literally took me air born and I landed about 5 feet from where my feet had originally been planted with the wind knocked out of me. I still had the leash though! :eek

    You just have to be aware and scanning so that you can be prepared on walks. Make sure the leash is looped around your wrist.

    Corn Issue

    I did the corn removal surgery with Finn. Long healing process and the corn did come back after about 8 months. NOT worth it. We have a dog at the adoption kennel (bounce) who had a weight bearing rear toe removed (not corn related). His toes are kind of twisted, but aside from that he is fine. I would go with the amputation. I know how awful it is to watch your dog chronically suffer from the pain of corns. Good luck with your decision.

    Wink Has Some Weird Scabs

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    I noticed a small dark raised scabby area on Winkie's neck early last week. It almost felt like a tick was imbedded in her skin. I picked it off, cleaned the area and applied neosporin. It looked good for about a week. This morning I noticed the same type of spot on her outer thigh. I checked her neck spot and it has returned to the original condition of raised, dark and scabby. It is no bigger in size. I again scraped off both areas, cleaned and applied topical treatment. (There is not bleeding involved when I remove the scabs)

     

    Has anyone had any exprience with this type of scab, especially as it applies to an almost 11 year old otherwise very healthy greyhound?

     

    I plan on keeping a close eye and taking her to the vet this week if they don't improve, but would love some input if anyone has any.

    New Girl In The House

    I have only seen my Wink cuddle once with the infamous Loca when she was a house guest. I think some dogs are cuddlers and some aren't. I also think cuddlers know who they can cuddle with and who they can't. I have had 3 other greyhounds and none are/were cuddlers, but they do like to be on the same couch, next to each other on adjoining beds and all were very bonded to each other.

    Chick Is Not Well

    Pat I am sorry your Chick is sick.

    I have no advice only good wishes for recovery.

     

    The "Chick" name rang a bell with me and her age. Is she JG Quickchick by any chance? If so she and Wink are half sisters sharing the same Dam. I looked Quickchick up on GD and noticed a great similarity.

     

    Wishing you the best....
