Nice, I like all the beasts, but I’ll pass on the giant gold one

Balance is the key! A young vet can make mistakes through lack of experience, or and older vet can be somewhat hidebound and not open to new treatments or input from owners. Sounds like you have the right attitude, question, question, question! Hope Daisy is feeling well.

This, exactly this

I don’t know why you bother!

Well, you know, tiger, tiger dog, thylacine, you can see how some one could make that mistake.

12 where did the years go? Happy birthday sweetheart!

Good news on Daisy’s heart! Not unusual for older dogs to have slightly elevated kidney values, but since she is drinking more water, good idea to get it checked out. Val has been drinking more water lately, but so far her kidney values are just high normal so

I am so sorry

for Daisy on Thursday. I have never had a vet be rude or dismissive, but I did leave one practice in part because the new office staff was so bad.

I am so sorry, she was beautiful. 14 is a good long life, but as we all know, it is never long enough.

Oh yeah, I can see how the dried up horse apples (if they are what I think they are) would be much more appealing to a houndie than an empty ice cream cone

I think she looks fantastic! I have always heard that healing wounds are itchy, and this is a good sign that they are healing well, so maybe that bit still itches? Or maybe it’s that greyhound thing, “something different on my skin, Must Lick! “

Yes

My first greyhound had heart disease, and like the others have said, did not need anesthesia for her echocardiogram. Maybe since Daisy is a spook, just a little Xanax or something like that to calm her would be enough. If not, I would agree with saying no. Sugar started on lasix and enalipril, then moved on to vetmedin as she got worse. All of this lasted about 3 years, then I lost her to kidney failure. The grain free food/heart disease issue is fairly new over here. Some tests have shown a possible link, and since most dogs don’t really need grain free it seems sensible not to go there. The issue seems to be (this is all still very early in testing) not so much the lack of grain as the often exotic things they replace the grain with. Sugar is the only dog I have ever had with heart disease, but I got her at age 7 from a not so great situation, so she probably didn’t get good care earlier in her life. All my dogs have been mostly raw fed.

They make training treats that are soft and tiny. The brand we usually get is Zune’s minis, but read the package carefully, they also make crunchy treats.

can’t wait to meet her!

She looks sooo happy!

I am so sorry Marvin had to leave

That's the one I have.

Beautiful Peggy in a beautiful landscape!
