Not on a greyhound, but on a cat. Neko did really well on it, only side effect was thinning of the fur on his ears. He had over three additional years on it.

Sneakers loves Jello also, especially cherry! As long as it isn't the sugar free kind there is no reason they can't have some. I make up a batch and put it into small single serving containers. I usually add some fruit. when I share it with Sneakers I usually leave some fruit also, he loves peaches. Sky and Dood like jello also, but not as much as Sneakers.

We do boots when the temps drop below zero. They are ok for quick pee trips until it hits -5 then they need boots. We have had a lot of those this winter. With three that's a pain but there is no way I can carry a 80lb hound.

I'm so sorry!

If he is going to his bed to get him that could be part of the problem. He needs to try to get Ernie to come to him. Try very yummy treats ( chicken or hot dogs), no leash a few days. Then with leash in hand, but don't try to put it on. Then yummy treats and put on leash.

Thank you, my Dreamy is on the list. It's hard to believe that a year has almost gone by since I lost her.
She would have been 10 this month. -
Sneakers seizures have become too frequent. He has started having them weekly. Poor boy had two seizures on Saturday and fell down the back steps when the first one started. Dr. Jeff has us starting Phenobarbital today, hopefully this will help.

I'm so sorry.

My pups are all crated when we leave. Sneakers is my seizure pup. If he didn't have them I wouldn't crate him. I'm afraid he would have a seizure and fall off the couch and injure himself. Sneakers isn't medicated. His seizures are infrequent he can have one a month or skip a month or two. Most of his seizures are very mild. Occasionally he will have one where he loses bladder and bowel control.
-
Another thing I didn't notice mentioned is if he is bending over Ernie to pet him on the bed. He may feel threatened and trapped if your husband is bending over him. Being this new calling him to come and be petted is best, especially if a treat is also offered.

Dood is a kisser and a licker, gives love to everyone.
Sneaker is an occasional kisser, DH and I only.
Sky isn't a kisser.

Hope Comanche just has a UTI. Let us know what it turns out to be.

Maybe try wetting his food, or mixing in some canned. That way you could eliminate dust from the food.

Poor boy, glad you were able to get him in fast.

Sneakers has a wonderful winter coat from http://www.needlenoseapparel.com/Needle_Nose_Apparel/Needle_Nose_Apparel.html my other two winter coats are from someone who no longer makes coats.
We have jammies from http://www.cottagehounddesigns.com/ and light weight fall spring jackets from http://www.greyhoundfleecejackets.com/ (these also work as jammies).
As you can see we have a wardrobe here
, Sneakers gets cold easily, Sky not so much. Dood doesn't like to wear a coat and doesn't seem to get cold as easily.Every dog is different I would first invest in a light fleece jacket and see how your pup does in the early fall.

My bridge boy Clark had an eye ulcer. My vet referred us to a specialist after we saw no improvement in one week. The specialist diagnosed him with punctate keratitis. When he too a picture of his eye it looked like a star field, not only was there the ulcer we saw but lots of little tiny ulcers!!
poor boy! He also had the small ulcers in the other eye. With proper treatment we had him cleared up and feeling better, no loss of sight. -

Poor pup he needs some ice cream!
-
Mine has, but they also know us very well.

We went through something similar with my bridge girl Gypsy.
The only thing that worked for her was Sulfasalazine and a fish based no grain kibble. Pork actually made things worse for her, anything with grains was out. She was never really firm, but it was formed just soft.

Sounds like she is really happy to be home and feeling so much better!
