Sending good thoughts for Maddie.

Sending prayers for your Missy. Send Dr. Feeman a PM through Greytalk. Link to Dr. Feeman He is a veterinarian who has greyhounds of his own, posts on Greytalk, and has lots of experience with greyhound health. I think you will have to make a few more posts to be able to PM though.

Spironolactone and Lasix are both diuretics, Digoxin is digitalis which helps with breathing in CHF patients, Enalapril is for high blood pressure, Diltiazem is for high blood pressure and angina, Vasotop is an ACE inhibitor. Pimobendan is used in the treatment of canines with congestive heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, pimobendan and mitral regurgitation. There are also BETA blockers that can be prescribed such as atenolol and metoprolol. I have not dealt with CHF in greyhounds however I have CHF and dilated cardiomyopathy myself. Sending prayers for your girl.

Hope everything is OK.

Garlic and onion can both be toxic.

I hope everything turns out to be ok. That was my first thought except a little thing in the back of my brain was saying a "caution". Hope it is simple like a plain old UTI.

Any bump around here gets a vet check quickly.

Prayers continue for Bodie.

Wonderful!

I would get her to the vet ASAP. link From above link: Onions and garlic are other dangerous food ingredients that cause sickness in dogs, cats and also livestock. Onions and garlic contain the toxic ingredient thiosulphate. Onions are more of a danger. Pets affected by onion toxicity will develop haemolytic anaemia, where the pet's red blood cells burst while circulating in its body. At first, pets affected by onion poisoning show gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhoea. They will show no interest in food and will be dull and weak. The red pigment from the burst blood cells appears in an affected animal's urine and it becomes breathless. The breathlessness occurs because the red blood cells that carry oxygen through the body are reduced in number. The poisoning occurs a few days after the pet has eaten the onion. All forms of onion can be a problem including dehydrated onions, raw onions, cooked onions and table scraps containing cooked onions and/or garlic. Left over pizza, Chinese dishes and commercial baby food containing onion, sometimes fed as a supplement to young pets, can cause illness. Onion poisoning can occur with a single ingestion of large quantities or with repeated meals containing small amounts of onion. A single meal of 600 to 800 grams of raw onion can be dangerous whereas a ten-kilogram dog, fed 150 grams of onion for several days, is also likely to develop anaemia. The condition improves once the dog is prevented from eating any further onion While garlic also contains the toxic ingredient thiosulphate, it seems that garlic is less toxic and large amounts would need to be eaten to cause illness.

Prancer looks like such a sweetheart. Hopefully the doxy will wipeout the problems. His nails look really long, maybe when at the vet they can trim them?

Sending good thoughts and prayers and gentle ear scritches for your sweet, handsome Rusty.

I would certainly have both a senior comprehensive blood panel and a complete thyroid panel plus urinalysis to see if there is a medical problem. Since arthritis pain can also cause grumpiness I would also try some supplements such as glucosamine & chondrotin. My puppers have always done great with Fresh Factors and Joint Health by Springtime. Springtime

We have been on every three years except bordatella which we do every 6 months. Do your homework and make sure you have current records of your dog's medical records. If my vet insisted on annual vaccinations I would find another vet. (Rabies may still be required annually by law in some states.) Edited to add...in our area lyme and lepto are not routinely given.

Poor Zema I hate UTI's.

Prayers for Zippy.

Definitely needs a vet visit.

Sending prayers for Deuce.

Sending prayers for all.

Great news!!!!

Sending prayers and gentle ear scritches for Bodie.

Poor Rizzo, the picture shows what a sweetheart he is. I hope that the pain does not come back. I also wonder about his neck. My Molly had some disc problems that would cause her to yelp but once they fused she no longer had the pain.

You could check with your vet about using water therapy. It's something you can do at home and it has speeded healing of a lot of really nasty wounds.

Poor Teagan, how is he this afternoon?

Sending prayers and gentle ear scritches for Monty.
