    I Am Devestated...

    What a sweetie :wub: he does look quite comfy at home. When you go grocery shopping maybe get him a roasted chicken (to debone) and some ground round to boil and then mix in some taters. I would offer him food every hour or two. So glad he is home and doing so well. :)

    The hair loss doesn't seem normal to me although I don't have any solid suggestions on what's causing it. Fallon might be a dog who would benefit greatly from a special diet. I would recommend raw feeding, but if you're not comfortable with that there may be a home-cooked option. When I see stuff like this, including your original problem, I immediately think about changing the diet. Diet has a lot to do with overall immune health, and particularly with allergy issues, which this may be.

     

    Changing Lucy to raw took care of her food allergies.

    First, feeding her four cups at one time is really not the best thing to do for her. It will be healthier for her if you feed 2 cups twice daily. Don't cut back on the amount total per day until you see how she does, meaning if she loses weight or gains too much on the four cups. Dogs are like people, four cups may make one dog porky while another dog may stay rail thin on that amount. It also depends on what food you are feeding. The calories differ from one food to another. I can feed my 90 pound male the same as my 65 pound female and she doesn't gain and he doesn't lose (weight).

     

    No exercise means just that, especially in summer where they heat up very quickly. No walks other then short (10-15 minutes) walks to potty, no running zoomies.

     

    Now that the business is over...pictures? :)

    Even though the drops have already made a difference I would still want him seen by an opthamologist. They have the equipment and training for eye issues that most vets just don't have since they deal with the whole body. The opthamologist that has seen my greys gives them a more thorough eye exam then I get when I go to an eye doctor. :) Pannus is not uncommon in greyhounds and is generally well controlled with medication.
