galgomum

Besides England, Norway and Sweden there is no quarantine involved with the rehoming of galgo's in other European countries, even for the US quarantine isn't needed. All the dog needs is the right amount of vaccinations, a European Passport and health certificate. My group in the Netherlands already rehomed over a thousand galgo's from Spain and I know of several other groups in the Netherlands. We also work with a German group and I know of many groups, in Germany, Belgium, France, Italy and many other countries that work hard to get these dogs rehomed. But....more important is to try to change the Spanish attitude towards these dogs and for that the Spanish groups need to get to know each other and work together.

Hi James, great pictures, your Hasi looks a bit like my Cara. Forgive me if I am too nosey, but what group do you work with? The group I work for rehomes galgo's for 10 years now and we always like to get to know new groups. Do you rehome the galgo's in Spain? And have you heard this news? http://www.laverdad.es/albacete/20081101/a...o-20081101.html

Hi and welcome from the Netherlands. Great to see a Spanish galgo lover! Would love to see pictures of your group. Have had several galgo's myself and still have two girls adopted from Spain.

Only found this now, Robin, I am sorry to hear about Linus. She always sounded so special.

Great, can't wait

Glad to hear miss Loca is ok again but it sure stinks about the 900$.

He is a mix??? You sure? I do have a 50/50 % mix and to me he looks greyhound. He may not have tattoos, but that doesn't say he isn't greyhound. Anyway, he is handsome, glad you brought him home

Hope you have been at the vet with Loki. After finding out myself how serious eye problems can be, I am all for having a vet see things like this. Hope it was a minor thing.

Looks like she is healing nicely. Using her leg when walking slowly and even roaching. Good girl Spriet!

Oh Liz, don't know how I missed this. So often we talked about our sweet boys and their painful feet. How strange that we both had to say good bye to them so close to another. Thinking of you

Oh Hilda, I am so sorry to hear this.

Have had Isa for 8 years. When she arrived from Spain she was dirty, but we didn't want to put her through the stress of bathing. So we started brushing, which was good for bonding anyway. We also used a wet cloth when needed. In these 8 years, she never had a bath. And besides the first 2 weeks, she never smelled bad.

I love you both

:confetti :confetti So glad she is ok!

Glad Loca is back to her old tricks.

Hoping for good news here

I fully agree with that last sentence. It is a scary feeling to realize that every peespot your dog leaves in the house and outside also is very toxic. You have to give the pills with gloves on, clean after your dog with gloves on. The treatment we did, more Lysodren than usual, had my vet ask me if I was sure I never would try to get pregnant again. I think that that tells you enough. Trilostane is a lot less scary.

Wow, that's interesting. Did you switch any dogs from Lysodren to Vetoryl? If so, how did that go? Were there any problems? I read about Vetoryl and even went to the FDA web site looking for the request letter (sample or other information) to get authorization to get the drug into the US, but, as most things pertaining to government, it was cleverly hidden, and I couldn't find it. Mary One of the dogs was started on Lysodren and than switched. From what I understand that went well, without too many problems. Vets here really were glad to start using the Vetoryl, since Lysodren is so very toxic. And Vetoryl isn't.

My own girl Fynn had Cushing and rightnow we have 3 dogs in our organization with Cushing. All of the pituitary based. When we treated Fynn it still was with Lysodren, 3 years ago, but all the 3 others that have it now all get Vetoryl. No vet over here will do Lysodren anymore.

Too busy rolling up rims?

How did you do that? Adding good thoughts for your arm to the ones for Loca.

Oh Hilda, prayers for Snowy and yourself.

Well, back from the vet with stormogyl for an infection in his jaw. We went over the issues he had for almost a year now. One infection after another, this in spite of two dentals he had in the last 9 months. There is still the fear this is caused by a tumor. If this round of AB's is not going to help, we are going to let him go. He has been in pain for most of his life now because of his paws and legs. Now the pain in his jaw is added. Monday I will know if it has been enough.

Would that cause this horrible smell also again?

For quite some time now Tom has given me worries and I guess I will be off to the vet again. But here is the deal, in october he returned from the dogsitter with his glands in his neck swollen up to the size of golfballs. It was straight to the vet who put a needle in. Nothing wrong, AB's and he seemed fine. Except for the fact that looking back, his glands were never totally back to normal. Here I have to add that Tom, in spite of dentals always had terrible breath, he could kill with it and I am not joking. Back 4 weeks, he suddenly had nose bleeds, didn't feel well and it was off to the vet. Swollen glands again, after checking, they pulled one of his canines. AB's, and he perked up really good. We, me and the vet, were very worried since the structure of his jaw looked strange on the x-rays and when they pulled the tooth, there were tiny parts of bone that splintered. The tooth looked perfectly ok, and no pus was found. So the fear was a tumor in his jaw. But, he did great, suddenly the terrible smell was gone, he felt great, no swollen glands. So we all relaxed. Now, since a few days the smell is back, his glands are swelling again. His teeth look fine, also his gums. But besides the swollen glands I now feel two small balls under his jaw. Not where his Lymphe glands are but in the soft triangle under his jaw towards the back. I can take them between my fingers. I do have an appointment next week, but anyone recognize this? Or knows what these little balls are? To be honest, I am getting really worried, the word tumor has been used way too much lately when it comes to Tom.
