GoDiego

I'm actually having a similar issue with my buddy Diego at the moment. I've been to the vet 3 times, have done X-Rays and they cant seem to see a foreign body when they investigated. If it's a corn would an X-Ray reveal that?

Thank you for the response! Yes, after some more research on here I've found that a lot of people feel like their greyhound "tells" them when they're about done with it.

Thank you for sharing your experience, I'll definitely look into making it more comfortable. I'll also look into Grey Care, sounds like that would be a great place to start!

Thank you for responding. As someone that did end up deciding to stick with the crate, what was your experience like? Did the crate become natural over time? Did Annie experience any accidents while you were away?

Thank you for the response. I haven't let him much, and I think that may end up being the solution if "powering through it" doesn't eventually bring him to be comfortable in the crate. I leave the crate open for him so that he can drink water (I leave his elevated water bowl in there for him) but other than that he doesn't voluntarily go in on his own other than to quickly inspect it. I'm leaving the house again today, and I'm going to leave my phone so I can really see what goes on in the crate while i'm away.

Hello everyone. I have just recently adopted a new greyhound named Diego. I adopted him three weeks ago and have been having some issues involving the crate. Diego is a sweet dog, and has done very well so far with adjusting to life at home. His only issue is that he has (recently) developed a disliking of his crate. To the advice of my adoption agency I have fed just about every meal in his crate, as well as leaving treats in there for him if I ever have to leave. For the first two weeks he loved it and only within the passed three days has really turned his nose to it. He has both pooped and peed in the crate every single time that I have left him alone. The longest stretch of being gone was a little over an hour and a half. I typically have the television on with the audio on so he can hear voices. I pick sports radio as it is typically just people talking and not any strange noises. The first time this happened, I let him outside before I left just to make sure it wasn't out of necessity (I already somewhat knew it wasn't because I have him outside a lot during the day). Unfortunately it is still happening. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to make the kennel not such a bad experience for my buddy? Should I be concerned for his health? From what I can tell his stool is fairly normal even when he is going in the crate.
