Maybe a girl dog affliction! Sweep did it and Willa does too. Those girls get so excited to eat.

Yep, the gallop is something they hear, not something you feel, so I think you're good if the vet didn't hear it!

My experience with CHF is limited to cats, but the heartbeat is very distinct (like a gallop) and, at least with my cat, the coughing spells were more than just one or two coughs at a time, and he had a high resting respiratory rate. You can count her breaths while she's resting if you're really concerned; normal is typically 20–30 breaths per minute. Kiss them her for me.

The video is helpful; glad it worked out! Personally I don't see anything terribly concerning, but hopefully others with more experience will chime in. I would liken it to her clearing her throat, like Jerilyn said above. Especially given that her bloodwork is normal, heart sounds fine (and you'd likely see other symptoms with CHF), and she doesn't seem distressed in any way, I don't think there's anything to worry about here.

Thanks for the replies! For now we're still mostly in "watch and wait" mode, but I have Duck tape and boots handy if and when this thing starts to emerge. I definitely feel "something" if I squeeze the pad, but I can't get clear margins on it. We'll keep up the paw balm and if we're at the vet anytime soon, I'll get their opinion. They see a lot of greys and thus a lot of corns.

Can you upload it to YouTube or iCloud and post the link? If you post a YouTube link it will embed here automatically.

Well, I did just buy them a two-foot-long giraffe toy. There's still hope.

Willa, I don't think this is what they mean by "cow dog."

I'm so sorry for your loss. You did right by your boy and spared him any prolonged suffering. He was lucky to have you as his people. Rest well, Hazer.

How was everyone's night?

I think Willa has a corn on her front left foot. I don't see a distinct border yet but there are some telltale signs, like limping on rough surfaces and a hard-feeling spot in the pad. Miss Jan graciously sent us a boot to try and I've joined the Greyhounds with Corns FB group. We're doing Bag Balm and colloidal silver. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever had a greyhound with a corn that resolved and never came back, or it's always a lifelong affliction. (Give me some hope, people! )

Aww, one of Sweep's late in life discoveries. She loved that stuff! I hope you all have an uneventful weekend. You've had enough drama for a while.

Willa's had hiccups a few times since we adopted her (I'd never seen that before either) and they've been silent but much slower. The allergy theory's a good one, but I'd also be inclined to try again to get that Gas-X in him. I assume the poop was/has been normal—no straining?

The GEM store still carries them: https://gemstore-185419.square.site/product/muzzle/34?cs=true&cst=custom And Amazon has them (of course): https://a.co/ijkB0Bo

That first post-crisis roach is The Best. There's a good girl, LaVida!

He has a point!

That sounds like a terrifying ordeal, but I'm so glad LaVida seems to be on the mend. Hopefully it's just a one-off. Wishing you and Chris a restful week! Side note: Doolin is a dedicated pee hoverer too. So rude!

for Mark Mode. Phew!

I'm just heartbroken for you and David. I loved Paris's "voice" and will miss her posts. Sending many hugs your way.

I'll keep my baknforf shoes on then.

Checking on Mark.

And then there was Sweep...

Ah! She certainly fooled me. Off to google pulp caps...

I have an AnnIE and a Wiki. Perhaps that shall be another in the series of "X Goes for a Ride." Wiki, off-topic, but your teeth are beautiful. Does your mom do anything special to keep them so white and lovely?

Yikes! Hope it passes on its own. Are you giving him anything to um, encourage its exit?
