I did and the vet ran tests and couldn’t find anything. They gave me pills to give him but he ate it once or twice and refused to eat it even when I crushed it and put it in his food. They told me to give him white rice and chicken and he kept throwing that up but I’ve never tried ground turkey. I did egg white and sweet potato and he did good on that until he refused to eat anymore lol so I switched back to kibble with olewo carrots around Tuesday I probably switched too fast but he seems to be doing fine now. Hopefully he stays that way.

He definitely settled down after going outside to use the bathroom again. A few weeks ago I gradually changed his food to Diamond Naturals salmon and potato he did good for about a week then last week he had diarrhea and vomiting. He’s been doing fine since Tuesday but maybe it’s bothering him again. Have you ever had a dog to have a delayed reaction to change in food?

I felt around his body and he didn’t show any signs of pain. He is also not limping or showing signs of a stiff neck. He went outside around 4:30 am and came back in and settled down. I think his stomach was hurting him. He had diarrhea last week so maybe still some effects.

Around 10:00 pm tonight my greyhound jumped up out of his bed like something scared him. He then proceeded to lay back down. A few minutes later he did it again. This time he stood by the door to go outside. After he came back inside he refused to lay down. He has three beds and would not lay on any of them. He has had these beds for a long time and has never had a problem. It is now after midnight and he is walking around and crying. I did get him to lay down but he got right back up as soon as I waked away and started crying again. The only thing I can think of is that he is pain but how could that suddenly happen. He was fine all day and has had no injuries, this just seems very sudden and abrupt. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Any ideas?

Hi all, I have had my Greyhound for 3 months now and I have been through a range of emotions. I would like to first off start by saying a adopted him in a very hasty manner. I had been thinking about getting a greyt for a few years but finally a few months ago my life was in the perfect state for a dog. When I called the adoption agencies none were available and they did not know when they would have any. I finally found an agency that had a dog available but when I went to pick him up he displayed several behaviors I did not like and I almost did not take him. Nipping, jumping, etc. I really wanted a calm well behaved dog. I figured I could train him and if it really didn't work out I would bring him back. Well 3 months later I realize he is a great dog but new problems are arising of course. When we meet new people or nice dogs (on walks, pet store) he is really hyper and it makes me nervous which obviously does not help. He jumps and nips which I know is normal dog behavior but others do not like it especially because of his size. How can I get him to calm down when meeting others? He hardly ever displays this behavior with me or my family and is relatively calm in the house. Because of covid I can't really practice with my friends and I am really just having minimal interactions with people at the park etc and I don't always let him say hi to strangers because he could accidentally hurt a stranger and that will be a whole other issue. He used to be calm when meeting strangers but now he is clearly getting more comfortable. I will get him into private training classes as soon as I can but other than that any ideas? P.S. There's more but I have already written an essay so I mention in another post lol.

Hi Gretchen, I recently adopted a 4 year old male greyhound. I have a very rambunctious one year old who regularly visits me and will often stay for a week at a time. My greyt does really well with her and has never jumped on her. I allow her to give him treats (she throws it but has let him take it out of her hand) and pet him. He loves to sniff and lick her. I'd also like to mention that he has moderate energy levels and will jump when he gets overly excited but has never done it to the baby. When he first met her he seemed to get really stressed when she cried and would always go to make sure she is ok but now he just ignores her crying lol. If he was showing too much interest in her (intently staring, etc.) I would say no baby and instruct him to lie down. There was a couple of times where I felt he wanted attention when she was around and he would take something that belong to her (shoes, toys, etc.). I would just say drop it and he immediately did and I would reward him. He's been around kids at the park and did really well. There was one time he was overly excited and a 7 year old kid ran up to him and he kind of bumped the kid a little. All dogs are different but I'm sure you could find one that will be great with your children.
