That is so bizarre. It looks like chicken fat or the marbling in steaks.

I tried googling about underground electricity. http://www.hese-project.org/hese-uk/en/niemr/ehs.php

How you tried leash-walking her around the yard? That might help to pinpoint the spookiest place. IN the meantime, how about giving her some Rescue Remedy?

Here's the link to the Technical forum on how to post pictures. photo posting It's a little bit different from how you post pictures on Watch My Hound.

I don't know about a flesh eating infection. That sorta looks like SLO or a badly infected skin tear or a partial de-gloving of the toe.

Oh Rusty, you were such a good good boy. Take care of Beanie OK?

Shannon has crossed the bridge

Shannon crossed the bridge today. She was 12. She had a medical crisis this weekend with her liver. Her owners got her to a specialist after their regular vet did what she could do. Until she met Bob and Annette, Shannon had had a hard life. When I first fostered her I posted about how she'd been found running the streets several times, how she was being returned for peeing in the house - her old owners couldn't be bothered to take her out so wonder she ruined their floors. Finally Shannon had found a heaven on earth in the home of Bob, Annette, and senior greyhounds Stacy and Shawn Michael. In the Winter 1999 issue of Celebrating Greyhounds Magazine, Annette wrote an article about how her greyhounds Molly and Sarah were nursemaids to Bob after he suffered a devastating heart attack when they lived in Cape Coral FL. Both Molly and Sarah later died from bone cancer. Today they are greeting little sister Shannon as she crosses the bridge. Shannon's dad is a retired fireman. When they first adopted Shannon, at GTer photoshopped this picture of her for me.

I am so sorry to hear this about Rusty. I've always loved that picture of Beanie sitting on Rusty's head. At least they are together again.

How do you burp a greyhound?

Little Shannon could use some extra prayers tonight. She's 12 and lives with 2 other 12 y.o. greys. She's only been in this home for less than 2 years. She is a zippy happy girl until now. Her owners awoke to file bilous vomit on the floor and Shannon almost unresponsive. Their vet suspects blockage or cancer since the liver and the gall bladder look bad on ultrasound. They are taking her to a specialist in Raleigh tomorrow to get a better quality ultrasound. Shannon was my second foster. Dumped by her first owners when she peed on their hardwood floors - folks who bragged about all their greyhound rescue work in 2 states. - They couldn't bother to walk her. This was how nasty her collar looked when I picked her up: She has been living with Annette and Bob in a virtual greyhound heaven on earth. Pray that she gets to stay a bit longer or that she be relieved of her pain.

How is Alan this afternoon?

Wow, I don't know what to tell you other than THANK YOU for trying so hard on Alex's behalf.

Keep a muzzle on the foster at all times, even if hse doesn't like it. Better to be safe than sorry. Keep the bunny and the ferret behind a closed door for a while. The foster will smell that they are near and get used to it. Your cat needs a way to feel safe - maybe a baby gate it can squeeze thru to escape. Introduce the foster to the shelties outside the house first. The foster will be overwhelmed will new smells and sounds plus it's hard to explain to your current pets what's going on. Make sure the kids know to keep all doors and outside gates closed. This is especially important when they have friends over. No hugging the foster. You need to know if she's definitely kid-safe and not sleep aggressive. Greyhounds like routines. Feed the same times and in the same order. I always "stand guard" when there's a new dog in the house. I don't want any food fights. And have fun! Thank you for fostering.

See if a piece of bread settles him? Wonder if it's hunger vs behavior?

That looks like some pretty strong stuff. I'd worry about the dog licking it. silver s... cream

Oh Lacey Laine!

Kat47kat, you don't have enough posts to PM yet but I will give Burpdog and Dr Feeman a head's up on your post........

And beware the olives !!! Has he been spending a lot of time alone in the bathroom with certain magazines?

Absolutely use the Capstar! I always keep some on hand for emergency pickups since they're always infested. Your vet can tell you how soon you can second-dose with it while you are treating the house.

I am so sorry that Toasty is sick. I lost a 13 year old grey to lymphoma that presented on his throat. He left us too quickly. Take lots and lots of pictures now. Contact to Dr Cuoto at OSU for a treatment plan. couto1@osu.edu greyosu@osu.edu

If you do a search on here for vestibular disorder you'll find that it often starts with the dog walking like they are drunk. Just something to consider but not be alarmed about.

The rapid-shifting eye movement is nystagmus: eye movement

My Oliver (13) had one episode of vestibular disorder with the rapid eye movement that we know of. I rushed him to the vet. I would say the episode was over within 20 minutes. My vet said that we would see the episodes re-occur and gradually last longer in duration. Oliver died of a stroke 3 months later without another vestibular episode. Had another episode occurred our vet said we did not need to bring him in but to : watch him - perhaps keep him separate from the other dogs while we were gone - limit his space (as in not roaming the whole backyard or whole house unattended) check his temperature - the stress of the episode had Oliver panting. He was very warm to the touch. When I checked his temp I think it was 102. Vet said to keep him cool with wet cloths. These episodes are so heartbreaking.
