glad the Ensure is working! My old girl lived on Ensure and tripe more than once and yes, your vet is one in a million!

I am so sorry

I used Metacam for Sugar's arthritis, and have started using it now for Fletcher. It works well for us. I also used Dasequin for Sugar after her arthritis got worse. I didn't start acupuncture until she started having problems with her spine (not arthritis), but I think it would have helped. Fletcher is also on thyroid meds.

so very sorry

Many greyhounds (maybe all kinds of dogs, I don't have much other breed experience) don't like strange dogs getting in their face. Butt sniffs, fine, face time, not so much! I know the other dogs were just looking at her, but if she was feeling insecure, that could be enough. Give her time and respect what she feels uncomfortable with. She'll relax, but may not be a good m&g dog. I love Heather's (KennelMom) description of m&gs from the dogs point of view

Yep, Fletcher is very leash aggressive with dogs he doesn't know, sometimes even other greys, and any non greyhounds. However, we have learned how to manage him so that we can do greyhound only activities (no m&g for us) and even foster! She was probably growling because she was unsure with the new situation and strange dogs. She will get better!

Hope your little guy is feeling better today!

Poor Wendell! Glad he is recovering, he will feel so much better once his mouth stops hurting

oh OWIE! I hope everything starts to feel better soon

frustrating not to have a cause, but as long as he's feeling better, that's the important thing!

Yes, the grumpiness could be a combination of cabin fever and pain. Can you increase his pain meds?

and for Lena

I am so sorry

I am so sorry, Wilbur was obviously a very special boy

I am so sorry

good news! There were a few times, before the acupuncture really started to work, that Sugar was very bad. Once, she was so bad she couldn't walk or stand, we had to carry her into the vet. The prednisone got her moving again! she keeps improving oh, and the egg crate beds are the best!

Molly broke her toe (outside front), and the vet put a splint on it, but basically just covered the foot. I left it on about five days, then took it off. I don't think I'd use one again at all, but, it did take a long time for the toe to completely heal. Didn't seem to bother Molly, tho
