This was my first thought upon reading the post. They need to insist that a full comprehensive blood panel is done and a urinalysis. If they are in Lexington they are about 4 hours from Ohio State University. If this was my dog I would head there right now......

I am so sorry. KC my bridge babies will show you around.

They are running with all of our angels who went before them.

I am so sorry. Godspeed Rusty...run with all the angels sweetie.

Thank God she was loved. Run with all the angels sweet Shannon.

No swelling, just limping. Sending prayers for Pearl.

Absolutely yes I would drive whatever was needed to take my greyhounds to a greyhound savvy vet! Had I known this 13 years ago my first greyhound may not have died at the age of 8. Where we live driving 35-40 minutes is nothing.

Sending prayers for Shannon.

Gypsy is such a beautiful soul. Sending prayers and gentle ear scritches for Gypsy and strength for you. I know how hard this is, I've been where you are. Try to take some comfort in knowing that Gypsy only knows the here and now, she does not know the future. I would feed her anything she wants, and high protein low carb is better. Lean and tender roast beef, baked chicken, ground round with scrambled eggs, vanilla yogurt mixed with Rice Krispies, small amounts of ice cream and peanut butter, whatever she wants as long as it doesn't upset her tummy. The most important thing is to get food into her stomach so all the meds don't cause her tummy problems.

What a sweet boy. Godspeed Eric, run with all the angels.

Draco's shyness sounds pretty normal for a newly adopted greyhound. Remember that his whole life as he knew it has changed. As for his losing his coat it is typical for them to blow their coat when they come off the track or farm. Taking him to the vet is a good thing to do, that way the vet can give him a thorough exam.

I would think of pain also.

Sending good thoughts and prayers for Tuffy.

Sending prayers for Eli.

From what you have said I would probably go ahead and have the toe removed. She will do fine without it. You can make him aware of your fears about anesthesia.

Sending prayers for Mia.

I hope your boy will get some relief.

I prefer a combination of glucosamine, chondrotin & msm. I give my puppers Fresh Factors and Joint Health from Springtime.

Hopefully by tomorrow he will be fine.

Owie, that looks really sore, poor baby...gentle ear scritches for Bill.

I am so sorry.

Has the vet considered TBD's? My heartgirl Molly had two seizures prior to her diagnosis of ehrlichia, after she was treated she never had another seizure.

UTI's are not fun at all, poor baby. He will probably need to take them for another round and then be re-tested again. When Teddy was three he had to go through three rounds of antibiotics before he was finally clear. No problems since (knock on wood) and that was five years ago.

Hope Bill's vet visit isn't to traumatic. Feel better Bill.

Greytlady94 thank you so much,that is a great idea and I gave him a pepcid a little while ago. He did stop trying to eat these odd things about 2 hours ago,and yes it sounds just like how you describe Renie. That makes such sense,to eat all this stuff,so that then they will vomit. (and get whatever doesn't feel good out?) Such a strange sight tho',and it comes on suddenly,like,a ravenous desire to eat a basket,or slipcover... So far,so good on having eaten the beef,he's kept that down and is sound asleep again. Thanks Dana,Patti,and Nancy too, I'm so glad Dreamer is feeling better. When Renie has done this it is almost as if she is a possessed doggie. It's not funny at the time though because some of the things she has gobbled, or tried to gobble, could cause a dangerous blockage. I keep Reglan, Pepcid and Zantac on hand at all times.
