And that way you'll be able to see just how much your new boy has been eating and whether his brother has been scarfing down new boy's portion too. Keep us posted.

Before changing the food I would suggest that you stop free feeding. Is there a particular reason why you do it?

Such a sweet old face.

How many joints of that toe were removed? Gracie's toe was amped due to what turned out to be a rare but benign tumor. Vet stated that 2 joints needed to be removed (even though the tumor just surrounded the nail bed) so that the "nub" would not rub on the ground when she walked. It never bothered her and healed quickly.

YAY for B-9!

Consider a consult with Dr Couto. He can review your girl's case and may see something that other vets have missed. http://www.coutovetconsultants.com/for-ownersadopters/

I don't think benadryl would do that. It was the plain benadryl pill with no additives? My first mutt got lumps on her muzzle from trying to eat a spider.

Have you tried the benadryl yet as per hubcitypam and tbhounds suggestions? My old mutt had a similar bump come up on several places across her head. After bendryl they went away within an hour. Is he trying to rubbing or scratch at those lumps? Coming up quick like they did makes me think allergic reaction to something.

Did he have a bordatella vaccine (for kennel cough) prior to going to the doggy daycare kennel? Most places require it.

Resistance is futile.

Did your vet check his teeth?

Saying goodbye to the beautiful greyhounds and their friends who left us in July 2015. As you run with the wind send a caress to wipe our tears. Gone but never forgotten. Loved forever. Run free with those who have gone before you. Greet all those that will follow. Petey, Mandy, and their mom Miss Nancy Toby Shanti Duke Nita Peanut, a little dog with a big heart Peaches and Ziggy, the hedgehogs Boy Araley Jet Cricket, the kitty Santos Coopernikis Sam Tibbie, a shaggy, little best friend to greyhounds Cocoa Scout Pistol Oz Pixie Elune, the kitty Ford and Chica Tugboat Beth Mimi They'll always be with us, just slightly beyond the point that we can see with our eyes. In our heart, though, they'll be bright and clear, as they always were.

Matt, here's some articles for you: http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/help-my-dog-bites-how-to-deal-with-dogs-who-bite http://drsophiayin.com/blog/category/aggression

I don't think you failed in leadership. Like Brandiandwe said, watch his body language. Hopefully someone will have a link to that info.

When toweling, was it the same part of the body that made her yelp? Neck? Back? Any similar yelps when getting up or down?

I didn't think you'd mind if I added him. I know it's hard to post something when you've just lost your heart dog. I am so sorry that Chance had to leave you.

It's been a very sad month.

She smiles like she knows she has had a wonderful life.

Ask your vet about a very low dose of trazodone. It is short acting. Or maybe try feeding her in the car once in a while to make it a "happier" place?

Ask your vet about trazodone. Only lasts about 4 hours. Mazy chills out when on it but isn't acting drugged. Works best when we give at the very first inkling of a storm. Although the pills are 50mg, we're now able to give 1/4 pill at, adding another 1/4 two hours later if it's becoming an intense storm.

Susan, your limited door gap idea sounds promising. I'll pass that along to my friend.

Gates are out because of her boyfriend's mobility issue. She had the covered litter box turned around but her puggle pushed it and got to the "treats". She's working on a better way to prevent that from happening again. Thanks for all your suggestions.

Chattering! That's a good sign.
