Unless I'm out with them, Jet and Tavarish haven't explored the yard. Jet sticks to the easily passable places while T just barrels through the brush and stuff. We have 6 acres here - about 5 of that is now fenced. They still have the dog yard for night time use and when I'm gone or just don't feel like keeping too much of an eye on them.
Gate is open to the back yard now, temps aren't too bad and all 3 dogs are in laying on the floors. Jet and T were out earlier and played and then Jet took a snooze in the sand for a bit.

Does your vet take calls off hours. If so, call and leave the answering service a message that you want to know if you should bring him in or if it can wait until Monday.

Ryan is a seizure dog and does fine with front line. I just don't like it. The frontline spray seems to be working fine and hasn't bothered him either.
My mom has little dogs and 2 of them were seizure dogs and they couldn't do frontline. She uses capstar

Gotta admit--not a big fan of the grainfree kibble--too high in protein to be fed as a soul diet.
Not all of them. Taste of the Wild Salmon is only 25% protein.
-
The number they were probably concerned about likely could have been the protein creatinine ratio. 1 or less is good.
Ryan was off the charts and medicated, he's above 6 and has been for 3 years. He's declining now though (he is, not his numbers).

Second vet for a second opinion.
Could very easily still be worms and that could be the ONLY problem or it could be in conjunction with other issues still.
Get the records from the first vet and bring them with you to your apt with a new vet.
-
Why - if they don't come to the board again, they aren't going to get the PM either.
Unless I've hallucinated it, I've gotten email notification when I have a PM waiting on GT.
Only if you set it up that way. I don't get email notifications for PMs because I don't have it turned on to send me notifications.

Cold water constricts blood vessels, so it will actually hinder them being able to cool down quickly. They will still cool down, just not as quick.
And you can walk or play in the heat, but the dogs need to be conditioned to do that and not long sessions.

Trudy, is there a legal issue with explaining our experience and the bad and in some cases fatal outcomes when a vet does not do the right thing?
Terry
We won't let you bash a vet, but if you want to suggest not using a vet because you don't like them for whatever reason, that's fine... just no bashing.

Thanks for the reminder, or better yet, thank T for us
He says no problem. And he learned nothing from it. Seriously, the neighbors must hear me yelling "DO NOT eat the damn lizards!"

I am trying to use Picassa --- with the following url http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/HUTogiXwBdOqMJ_aKlpdrg?feat=directlinkbut I get a msg from Greytalk that I am not allowed image posting -- or something like that. Any ideas?
Thanks!
because you are trying to insert the URL to the page, not the image. Below is the image link. Right click on your picture and click properties or copy image location

Have you looked at puppy kibble - been a while since I had to feed it to Jet, but it helped put some pounds on her when nothing else had enough calories to cut it.
Can also add coconut (?) oil - more solid like at RT.

So... when the lizard came back up - was it whole or in pieces???
He didn't puke it back up. No reason to make him, just washed his mouth out with water to get the toxin out of his mouth. We were at the vet for an apt this morning and I mentioned he snacked on a lizard last night. She said at most, he'd probably have some loose poop. Her dog snacks on them as well. All I noticed was a couple nasty farts from him last night. Lizard farts are as bad as Ryan's poop farts

And I am guessing Tavarish?
Who else
-
Do you have peroxide?
No - Put it on your list and buy some
Yes - Is it open?
No - should be fine if it isn't too old
Yes - if it's been open more than ~12 months, you might want to replace it for a fresh bottle
I usually have a bottle on hand in case I need it for the dogs. Movers didn't pack liquids and I had forgotten to buy any as of yet. I remembered this when I had a dog foaming at the mouth tonight and had to quickly figure out if said dog needed to be forced to puke up a lizard, go to the vet or something else (c- something else, rinse mouth out with water to remove lizard toxin).
So, check your peroxide. If you don't have any to check, get some

Have you tried gating him in the bedroom - will the gate help him think one big crate (or small bedroom in the human case)? Though that gates Angler out at night.

Welcome to GT.
I don't have suggestions for keeping him off at night, but if he wakes you up when he gets up there, tell him no and back to his bed like you have been.
I keep my pillows spread on my bed when I'm not in it to keep Jet from hopping up there and snoozing. Any time I forget to put the pillows on the bed, she's up there snoozing away. You can also try some of the plastic carpet runners with the pokey nubs on the back - put that nub side up on the bed when you aren't in it.

image needs to be online somewhere, not on your computer.

We have LOTS of huge holes in our yard. One happens to be not too far from the dog yard, so I just scoop and dump it in there. Not the prettiest smelling spot to walk by, but it isn't utterly disgusting. The heat and bugs do their thing. And rain.
-
does it need an Rx?
-
your tags need to be either all caps or all lower case, not one of each.
-
If like in humans, you don't have to do anything unless it bothers you.
-
Try different enzymes to put on the food. Tavarish actually does perfectly fine with Dr Goodpet Canine Enzymes and that poor boy was knocking on deaths' door when he was diagnosed. (he was on pancrezyme from the vet and that stuff was $$$$ - worked, but $$$$)
There is a forum/group for EPI, I didn't join because I really just felt they asked for way too much info to join. Others on here can tell you the address for it since I've forgotten.
Foods that work for an EPI dog will vary depending on the dog. It will be trial and error.

Wow, so many things wrong with that post - yeah, you all know the one
1 - attacking a member, oops, you didn't know it was a member, oh well, still a member
2 - know the board you are posting on, did you honestly think that comment would go over well
3 - this a greyhounds as pets board. PETS. Hard to have pets if you never interact with them.
I'll be one of the first to agree that greyhounds are <gasp> just dogs, but greyhounds aren't outside dogs 100% of the time.
Hope you enjoyed you stay
