  1. My dog vomits bile reasonably regularly, but really only when he hasn’t got any food in his stomach. However he only has diarrhoea when there’s something wrong, and the presence of blood is a bit more concerning. It might depend on where you live as to what your vet would advise but I would at least give them a ring and see what they suggest. It could be that your dog has eaten something on her walk that she shouldn’t have and has picked up a bug. She’s not on any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication is she?

  2. We also have a shredder here. We rent a garage to a man who owns a classic car. The first year we had Buddy, the man posted a year’s payment in advance through the letterbox. When I came home from work that day, I arrived to find £10 and £20 notes strewn across his bed, leaving me thinking ‘what the heck have you been up to while I’ve been out?!?’

    Oh Buddy, you have to be more careful :yikes  It could be his eyesight, although the hole wasn’t moving was it? :lol Or it could be quirky greyhound behavior, I swear one of mine would have walked into a hole while watching a butterfly float by :rolleyes:

    I hope he didn’t add to his wounds

    Maybe your hound was reincarnated as mine.  :rolleyes:

    If that math is correct then this latest incident was inevitable and no fault of Buddy’s. :lol 

    Is Buddy due for an annual exam? Good to mention his coordination fails but hopefully they’re a nothing, not a something. Let’s go with that! 

    That’s good advice. We go to the vet each month for his Librela injection so I will ask about it then. Thank you.

    Oh poor Buddy! The Black Bandit admires your spirit. And your fancy socks.

    Wiki herownself fell in a storm sewer grate last week. It's my greatest fear and not her fault because it was totally covered with snow and we didn't know it was there. She got herself out immediately but did also tear her carpal pad. She didn't get quite the level of care that Buddy did though. Just some ointment and a stern warning not to lick it.

    Buddy has done this too! He always avoids them but when we were on holiday I.e. far from our own vet, he put his foot right through one and tore up his skin. My dog is now more scar than greyhound.

    Buddy, Fuzzy tripped UP the stairs in sympathy today, she thought there would be a C-A-T at the top of the stairs and out-ran herself! She isn't the brightest, either! 

    Too busy looking at the thing she wants rather than right in front of her. I’ve told him ‘CAREFUL!’ so many times after an accident, that when I say it to him, he actually stops and looks for hazards. It’s the only training word that we have practised again and again

    Silly boy fell into a hole today. I managed to save him going completely over by holding him up by his lead (attached to a harness, thankfully), but whilst concentrating on getting his front end on solid ground, his back legs, which are under no control from his tiny brain*, went off on their own and his back end gave way underneath him. It was a rather large hole so I am beginning to wonder if his eyesight is failing him. He has nuclear sclerosis, although the vet said it shouldn’t affect his vision. I suppose he could have something else going on, or he could just be clumsy…
