Hello MP_4pack. I had this discussion also this morning and it would be very risky. I am considering this a lot and will have to come to some kind of decision but I thought I would see if anyone could come up with another solution. We lost our sweet 13 year old boy in April after so many tests and not properly diagnosed and so many drugs making him sick. He lost a lot of weight due to lack of eating.

Thank you both for your replies. She decided no kibble a long time ago. She does eat chicken, beef, sardines and things like that. She is crazy about peanut butter which helps get all the supplements in and apparently it is fattening! I am concerned that her teeth will create a bigger problem and they must hurt her. Regarding pulling them out without putting her under the response as been "absolutely not"! I was talking to a homeopathic vet this morning who said she would never put a sight hound under over the age of 10. But I do see on the forum some older ones have done O.K.

I just wanted to know if anyone has been in this position and what they did about it. My grey has severe tooth infection (had two dentals and only seven teeth left including canines). She has a heart condition and just about every vet I have spoken to would not put her under again at age 14. My poor girl is suffering and not eating enough and is starting to lose some weight. She is on amoxicillin to try and keep the infection under control plus probiotics and other supplements. Does anyone have a solution to this as any input would be very much appreciated. I am very worried about her.

We are very sorry to hear that you are going through this. It is very stressful. We recently went through having to pay very high vet bills for one of our greys in the Toronto area. Will be watching your post to see how you are doing. Our thoughts are with you.

We have had four sessions with laser therapy and hoping it will make a difference. Our greyhound has trouble with his spine and was lifting his rear right leg. It appears that he may have some like a "pinched nerve". We feel optimistic that this treatment will benefit and would be very interesting to know how it works for you.
