    Val is 9.5 and has typical greyhound teeth, bad. Or really, her teeth are ok, but her gums are bad. She had a dental in November, a few extractions (8, I think) and I just used her regular grey savy vet and normal protocol. Conner is 12.9 and had a much needed dental in August. For him, I went to a specialty dentist and paid the extra bucks to have an anesthesiologist present during the whole procedure to monitor him. I think it really depends on their overall health.

    that is a weird one, hope everything goes well tomorrow!

    Sounds like she pulled something, I think you can go ahead and give her some pain meds, just be sure to tell the vet when you take her in.

    Yes, it depends a lot more on the personality of the dog than size, hers or the dogs. I’ve walked big boys with zero prey drive that a child could walk and a small female that could pull a linebacker off his feet I am sure you can find one that is a good match

    I remember the incident Robin mentions, and it was horrible. However, her dogs mostly tolerated each other, but one clearly didn’t much like the other one. With those dynamics, I would never, ever leave them alone unmuzzled. I have also read horrible stories from people who had dogs who got along fine with their cats, and one day came home to a dead cat. I still don’t muzzle my dogs, could something terrible happen? Sure, but I think the risk with these particular dogs and cats is very, very low. Other cats, other dogs, might be different. You have to do what you are comfortable with.

    If the wheat germ doesn't work, try coconut oil. Start with about a tsp per day, you can work up to a TB per meal.

    I am not an expert, never had a corn dog, but that clearly looks like a corn to me, and your description of his behavior immediately said "corn" to me also. That being said, there could also be some spondylosis starting in his spine. Pain meds should help that, and if you have access to a vet that does acupuncture, it was a life saver for my girl that had spondylosis.

    I am so sorry you didn’t have more time

    Yes, normal, especially in a young dog. She is playing. If you can put up with it for a few minutes to let her get it out of her system, then try saying something like “that’s enough” “done now” or whatever you like, I say ”no mas” : lol, then ignore her until she settles down, even if you have to get up and turn your back on her. She’ll catch on pretty fast.

    I have never muzzled mine after the initial “break in” period. How long was that? Depended entirely on the dogs, but never for very long. I never hesitated to bring the muzzles back out if one of them (Cough cough Fletcher cough cough) started acting like a butthead. However, most of my dogs have been older, and bounces, not right off the farm or track.

    Tall cat a very good description. I have had a few greys that were pretty reserved. They did warm up some over time, but that was just their personality. The signs are subtle, but you will learn to recognize them. The quiet ones can be very rewarding if you take them on their own terms.

    :confetti . Congratulation! She is beautiful. Never a dull moment with those broodies:)

    I am so sorry, you were blessed to have her for so long, but I know however long, it is never enough

    That is great news!

    Any kind of oatmeal as long as it plain oatmeal with no ad ins. The 5 minute kind is fine. Hope the new food works!
  17. Remolacha
    another thing to try instead of rice is oatmeal. very bland, and they usually like it. I am sorry for what you and your boy are going through, hooks are nasty and hard to get rid of! you might try tylan powder, it has helped a lot of dogs, but it is very nasty tasting (so I am told) so you have to give it in capsules.
  18. Remolacha
    I am so sorry

    Yeah, Fletcher had IBS, which is more like stress colitis, rather than IBD. I think the manuka honey helped soothe his gut once it became inflamed from the IBS.

    My two have been together since Oct 2015, a little over two years, and they still butt sniff. I figured they were just checking in

    I have never heard of that, but I haven’t had much to do with puppies. I agree with Dick, either a three year shot is good for three years or it isn’t.
  22. Remolacha
    It’s all about quality of life. Enjoy the time you have left with her
  23. Remolacha
    I used it with Fletcher who had pretty severe IBS until we got it under control. It was definitely helpful, but you may still need some meds, just depends.
  24. Remolacha
    I am so glad you were able to give her a few happy years, she was beautiful! I am sorry her time with you was so short
  25. Remolacha
    I am sorry to hear this. It sounds like a seizure to me. Possibly a reaction to the new meds? What did your vet think? I hope she is feeling better now.
