    Need Advice: Considering Returning :-(

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    Posted

    One question....did you request this dog or was this a dog the group suggested?

     

    As a first time dog owner I got a 2 yo who never raced and was less than secure. Regardless of his issues...I ended up returning him and gave it about a month and went back to adopt and almost 5 yo who was so much better suited for me and my life. He was the love of my life....but I think for people in your situation you might be better off with an older dog.

    Little Dogs And Greyhounds

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    I have two Chihuahua mixes who are flat coated so not the look of a poodle...one is 9lb and the other 14....my greyhounds have never had any issues with them. Occasionally it has turned into a bark fest in the yard with the littlest one barking at my greyhound Dylan. Then Dylan barks back at him but never like prey. I do not allow the little ones out in the yard with other greyhounds that come to the house.

     

    When my boy Bounty got sick several years ago and I had just gotten Pixie, my fist chi mix, and she was a constant by his side as his cancer got very bad, very quickly. She really loved him.

    Nichole...

     

    I have a really good friend that has a collie with it. She does amazingly well. She knows her environment and navigates it well. When they travel they leave her at home but that is really the only thing they have worried about. She still can find a tiny piece of food in the house with her nose!! :lol She does seem to still see shadows but the vet believes she is close to completely blind.

    Fce - Fibrocartilaginous Embolism

    I went through FCE with my first, Rascal. We did all the tests and pred and some of his functionality came back and some of it didn't. In his case the mobility all came back but he never regained control of his bowel control and the urinary control got weaker with age. After a week and a half at a university hospital my local vet saw him. The first thing he said is that it could get better but I should consider if I could handle him the way he was because it might not get any better. It never really did improve after a few weeks.

     

    We did accupuncture and it really did help but whenever we tried to wean down on the visits his control got worse. It never bothered him really and he lived to be 12 1/2 and this happened when he was 7.
