Renie has done this three different times, it is when her stomach is upset or hurts. She will eat paper towel, try to eat a rug, DH's shoestrings while they are on his feet, etc. so I know what you are talking about. She is trying to get all this stuff in, and then she will vomit. I give Renie Reglan and Pepcid or Zantac and it calms her tummy down pretty quickly. I usually give her two or three doses and a bland dinner and by the next day she is fine.

I am so, so sorry. You can see the spirit, the heart, and the love in his pictures. Run with all the angels Quinnie, you are in good company.

I'm so sorry, that was such a lot to deal with. Godspeed Kerbey, run with the angels.

Sending good thoughts for you and Bodie. Glad that your Dad is doing well.

Hi and !! Keep in mind when you are reading Health and Medical discussion that people don't come into this forum to talk about their greyhounds who are well and healthy, those that come here are doing so because they have a dog with a medical problem. It helps to keep that thought in mind. To add to your research I recommend a couple of books... "Adopting the Racing Greyhound" by Cynthia Branigan and "Retired Racing Greyhounds For Dummies" by Lee Livingood. Adopting the Racing Greyhound linky Retired racing Greyhounds For Dummies linky

I know you are very happy and relieved to get him back. I agree with the Neosporin and baby socks, and small meals every 3-4 hours. I would get him to the vet for a complete physical and bloodwork.

Definitely take your boy to an ophthalmologist, he needs to be examined by a specialist. Tufts University Veterinary School shouldn't be too difficult to get to and they will surely have ophthalmologists on staff. If human medications are being used, they may be less expensive if a prescription is filled at a drug store like Walgreens then getting them through the vet clinic. My veterinarian will always write a prescription when it is for something that she doesn't routinely carry since she knows I can get it for less at the drug store.

I am so sorry.

Help me to understand this then... I don't mean for my tone to be anything other then totally mystified. I just adopted my 4th GH yesterday, Polli, an 8.5 year old brood mama off a farm in KS. She has not eaten anything but raw up until she came off the hauler on Sunday night. She has never had a dental and her teeth as SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad that the vet would not touch her until she had a round of amoxoxcillian, she will probably lose most of her teeth, her breath could knock ANYONE over, it smells as though there is an abcess which is prob gum disease. There is black smelly SLIME that actually comes out of her mouth. Nice huh? I realize that this is partially hereditary but since she was on only raw, what would make her teeth so bad? Do you know exactly what she was fed? It is possible it was a combo of meat and kibble and not with the bones that help keep the teeth clean.

I am so sorry. Godspeed Earl, run with all the angels sweet guy.

I am so sorry. Godspeed Zadie, run with all the angels sweetie and give your mom & dad a sign that you are ok.

This is not exertion related. Malignant Hyperthermia Heatstroke & Exertional Rhabdomyolisis Definitely if it ever happens again cool him and get to the vet. A temp of 105 and above can be deadly very quickly.

What she said.

She is still pretty young at 9. I would go ahead and make an appointment for a complete exam with manipulation, and both a senior blood panel and urinalysis. Supplements that I have given all my greyhounds are Fresh Factors and Joint Health from Springtime. Fresh Factors Joint Health Missing Link is a good product but doesn't have enough glucosamine to make much difference, it does make their coat really soft though. Go slow with the Missing Link to start with or it can cause a really loose stool.

Probably not the Heartgard since you have not had this happen in over three years.

Glad nothing showed on the x-ray.

Congratulations on your boys, they are beautiful! I would definitely take them to the vet for a complete physical and lab work, that way you and the vet will know if there are any problems plus you will have a baseline.

I think the treatment for Anaplasma Phagocytophilum is Doxycycline, the same as is used to treat Ehrlichia. The treatment for Babesia is 2 injections of Imizol two weeks apart. It's no wonder this poor guy has been "off", he is carrying quite a load. Thank goodness you got a second opinion from a vet who was paying attention to his symptoms. Sending prayers for Prancer.

I am so sorry Godspeed Gigi, run with the angels and send your Mom a sign so she will know you are OK.

I am so sorry. Godspeed Troy, you are in very good company.

I am so sorry. Godspeed Milly, run with all the angels pretty lady.

I am so sorry. Run with the angels sweet girl.
