    Need Vet In Mobile, Al; Need Help Explaining Heat

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    How about telling him: my dog will die. Better yet, don't trust him if he doesn't get it.

     

    I have two married friends who lost their two greys to heat stroke. Let me tell you how it happened: She was in the hospital with their first baby and he was there to pick her up. Her mother & sister were watching the dogs and decided to go shopping. They forgot the greyhounds and left them outside. It was July in Texas. The mother & sister were only gone a couple of hours. The two dogs died -- who knows how fast -- but very painfully. It was truly horrific.

     

    So, tell your fiance your dog will roast from the inside out, experience horrible pain and mental anguish and die.

     

    Sorry if I'm being harsh, but there should be no "let's try to negotiate" on this matter. Greyhounds can't handle heat. End of story. If he doesn't listen to you & trust you on that, then leaving your dog with him is willfully endangering your hound.

     

    I remember when this happened. :( Very tragic.

     

    Go to wally world and get a wading pool out there TODAY while you negotiate.

     

    No negotiation should be needed. He either cares enough about you to respect your wishes for your dog's needs or he doesn't. It's literally a matter of life or death.

    Is she on a special diet? If not you could try changing the protein source in the food. If on lamb try the same food but the chicken formula, etc.

    The gas eruptions from my puppers have always been made better by diet change. Since they have been on raw they rarely have any gas, but some kibbles used to cause paint peeling gas.

    :dunno Maybe its me; your greyhounds anatomy looks the same as my two greys...I just got off the couch to check. The two of them now think I'm wacked!!! Seriously it looks "normal" to me.

     

    OK, now I want pictures! It might be hard to tell from the pics, but it's really not on her "butt" but her tail!

     

    She is beautiful. :wub:

    She is probably not getting enough food to generate the output you are used to seeing.Also it takes a lot of chicken and pasta to make up the calories she needs. It sounds like the kibble you have tried to feed her is not agreeing with her tummy.

    You might want to think about looking for a different kibble.

    Shelia I am so sorry your Natasha is gone. :candle I didn't know until I saw this poll. :grouphug

     

    I think I would rather know. It's never going to make it easier, but at least you would have those last few days to cherish.

     

    When my hearthound Molly went, it was very sudden, from one day to the next. Molly had cancer, but not osteo, her cancer wasn't what took her, a stroke did. :(

    Molly was 12 years 10 months.

     

    Maggie also went suddenly, from a stroke. Maggie had been diagnosed with cancer, also not osteo, but she was doing well, then suddenly she wasn't. :( Maggie was 11.

     

    Casey went down very quickly too, and there were so many things we didn't know then that we wish we would have. We were ignorant about so many things as was our then vet. If only we had known about tick diseases. If only we had known....something, anything. Casey was our first greyhound and we let him down due to not knowing. We will never know what took Casey, but I will never stop wondering. :( Casey was only 8 and was DH's hearthound.

     

    Charlie had osteo. Diagnosis to the Bridge was only about two weeks. :( Charlie was only 6.

     

    So yes I guess I would prefer to know. You can never prepare but you can maybe not have some of the regrets. :(

    Poor Monty, he is really having a bad time. I hope the tests, cultures, etc. reveal what the problems are so he can be properly treated.

     

    I would ask Monty's vet to consult with Dr. Couto at OSU. OSU has a lot going on with greyhound health and wellness and they may have seen something like this before, or done studies on antibiotic resistant infections.
