    How Your Dog Ran At The Track

    in Everything else Greyhound

    Posted

     

    DK'S Stryker ran 20 races all at Daytona. He had no early speed, no rush to the turn and no late speed. LOL Since there are no other options he is right where he belongs, on your couch. He managed just two fourths in his 20 races.

    Yeah, she is pretty lazy! I can see why she only had 20 races!

    Arthritis In Greyhounds?

    Lauren,

     

    Fast has been Gluocsomine since he came to us as a 7 year old who had broken his leg as a 2 year racing. Ellen Paulus recommended that we start him on it after we got him since he was older.dog with a previous racing injury. And he was on it on til just about a month ago. Our vet didn't seem to think the Glucosamine was helping any more since he now almost 13. He is on 2 different pain pills for the arthritis in the leg he had broken. We also had him on a different supplement as well. and the combination of those 3 things seem to be helping. He still does limp on that bad leg of his but not all the time though.

    It is with great sadness that I post about my sweet Angel's girl's passing! After a 20 month battle with Kidney diease. She was my constant companion for the last 9 years. And I wouldn't change a thing about it! She was my wild child! She was such a momma's girl! She was my heart dog! She was a amazing meet and greet girl, foster sister to all the foster hounds we've had over the years! She had such a big personality! And now our house feels empty with her gone!

     

    Run free my sweet Angel girl! your family loves you very much!post-3478-0-75621600-1439159649.jpgpost-3478-0-42541200-1439159661_thumb.jpg

    Fattening Foods For A Dog With Kidney Issues?

    in Food and dietary discussion

    Posted

    My girl Angel has kidney diease as well. She was on a home prepared food for dogs with kidney issues. But she stopped eating that about 6 months ago. We took her in January since we were having a hard time getting her to eat. The vet ran some blood work and her kidney functions were getting worse. At that time our vet gave told us that Angel has maybe 3 to 6 more months to live. And that was back in January. She's still hanging in there yet. But not by much some days. Her coat is rough looking,she has really bad breath and she is very skinny! :cry1 There are days where she eats really well and there are day like today where she really doesn't want to eat. Then I just ask myself "Why I am doing this to her?"Then She looks at me with those big brown eyes of hers and tells me she's not done fighting yet! Like today she's hardly eaten anything all day. The only she's had all day are a Ensure shake, part of a plain McD's hamburger and some treats. And half of a piece of bread. Which she normally eat if she won't anything else. And she didn't even want that! She seems to be getting weaker with each passing day.

     

    I'm sorry if some of my babbling isn't making sense right now. But it hard to see threw the tears on my glasses right now! Every time I start thinking having to put Angel to sleep I start crying, like I'm doing right now! :crying

    Changing To Harness Due To Strong Prey Drive

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    We have a Freedom No pull Harness for my high prey drive girl Angel. And she behaves like a completely different dog on her walks when she wears . What I also started doing when she would start barking,and lunging at the squirels and rabbits is to stop walking.and stand perfectly still in place and we didn't continue walking until stopped acting like a crazy dog. She figured it out after about a week.
