Some things should be taken to PM.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Dee.

Eh, whatever Jet doesn't eat for breakfast gets put up for dinner. She can eat it then. If not, T does. Never had an issue leaving their soggy food out, but I do drain any extra water out, so it doesn't overly poof.
-
and when I see others, mine didnt seem that big.
File size and image size are two different things. You don't visually see the file size. So while it didn't seem that big as compared to others, doesn't mean the file size wasn't too big.

Fiproguard is the generic of Frontline?
Anybody have experience with it?

Secret Santa is now open. There is a Secret Santa forum in the Greyhound Events forum. All SS stuff should stay there. Questions can be posted in the pinned thread there. Details on how to sign up and info are there.

Nope. You can use whatever you want to make your signature.

If she's not showing signs of distress, don't worry about it.
Ryan ate one of those rubber balls with all the little tentacle things poking out of it. He pooped bits of orange for days and we figured that was the end of it. Seven months later, he started puked breakfast on our afternoon walk and wouldn't eat dinner. Went to the vet the following morning and they didn't really see much and he didn't want breakfast. Two hours later, he came in and was ready to eat. Went out and checked the yard and he'd finally been able to poop out the center of that ball he'd eaten 7 months earlier!
A friend's lab ate a football and he puked it up a year later. Just sat in his stomach not causing any problems until one day it moved and out it came.

In my adult life I've had 4 dogs. All big. 2 greyhounds, 1 doberman, 1 great dane. None of them have ever tried to jump a 4' fence.
Yes, some dogs will try and succeed in getting over a 4', or a 5' or even a 6' fence. T and Abby can easily clear our fence if they wanted to. Abby will jump from about 14 feet back and clears the steps to the deck with ease - ground to the deck is 3.5 feet. But she has never tried to go over our fence. Not all dogs, even if they can do the jump, will.

OP will post in Remembrance at a later time.

Mr Elephant Leg has pretty much gone back to normal today. I'm thinking by tomorrow, his leg should be back to it's normal size.
Last night at bedtime, it was still Elephant leg like.
-
Try a different protein of the Orijen. You didn't want to be around Ryan if he ate chicken based food.
-
Try giving her an ice cream after she's been lounging around for a while. Could be something in the ice cream too that doesn't agree with her and brings up the contents of her stomach.
-
Is he in pain?
Doesn't seem to be as much as last night, but holy moly, last night he cried. He is like Ryan was - does not show any reaction to pain unless it is really really bad. Can tell it hurts today, but he's not crying anymore.
-
If you have a carpet cleaner, use that to get what you can up and out of it after you have done the first scrape/clean.
Then I use a healthy dose of resolve carpet or woolite pet carpet spray stuff and use that then go over it with the carpet cleaner again.
Ryan got very sick on our cream carpet in his last week and you can't even tell. That took lots of cleaning and recleaning and cleaning again though.

I use Zimecterin Gold
Active Ingredients:
Zimecterin® Gold: Ivermectin 1.55% and Praziquantel 7.75%
Of course it's a horse wormer so the dosage is majorly decreased when using it on dogs.
Easy to find at any tack or farm store and it's cheap
I think I saw that at TSC (if not, plenty of other feed/horse places around here).
Vet does Drontal and said I can only get that from them and I'd have to stop in for it, but she was sure TSC or feed store would have something cheaper as well since I'll need to dose all 3 even if it is only Abby and maybe T with tapeworms.
-
Who knows, I'm sure the yard is full of fleas, but the dogs don't have fleas and the yard is also full of rabbits.
Drontal isn't so cheap, even the vet tech said that
-
Not the kind from flea, the kind from rabbits.
-
What is the drug of choice for tapeworms?
Does it have to be from the vet or can I get it at TSC or feed store?
-
Paul and Sonja,
I'm so sorry to hear about Bill.
-
Ryan used it with all his other stuff when he first got sick. Worked well for him, well, kind of. Worked better adding it than not adding it.
How it works isn't well understood, but the common thought is it just blocks the brain from receiving "pain" messages. Seems to work best in dogs when combined with other pain meds.
-
We don't have a dog treats page, but if you mean the pinned thread of GT business owners, the details on how to do that are in that post.
You can't start your own thread in this forum until you have 50 posts or are a community supporter.

What things can you do to help break a dog of being person possessive?
Abby came in and has decided she likes me and I'm very much worth protecting (I like that mentality, but not when she does it in regards to the dogs that already live here!).
She's working on her last strike and I need to work with her to correct that problem or determine sooner than later that she's not going to work.
Dogs aren't allowed on furniture here. They have their own beds and they have plenty of carpet on the floor or even the tile if they so desire.
If I'm sitting in a chair, Abby will come over and sit down to ask for attention and then put her head in my lap. T will come over and do the same (though he doesn't have to sit since he doesn't demand attention like she does). So I have 2 dogs sitting or standing in front of me with their heads on my lap while I'm sitting.
Abby thinks I'm hers and if she feels like it, she'll growl at Tavarish. She went after him a few nights ago when she had a toy in her mouth. We thought she was playing, but she was warning him - so when he went to grab the toy like they always do, she snapped and went for him - she had her toy standing next to me with her head over my lap and T reached in over my lap to get the toy. Last night she growled at him when she had her head on my lap and T came over and plopped his head on my lap. She let him stay for a minute or so and then growled at him and told him to GO AWAY, I was hers.
She doesn't do it all the time, but I have no clue yet what makes her decide she's willing to share me or not.
Trying to eat Jet and Tavarish is NOT acceptable.
How do we person depossessive her?
She can't stay if she's going to try to eat Jet or Tavarish when they want my attention too.
I'm usually the one that feeds them, so this morning I had Jeff do it and will probably have him do meals for a while and only have me feed them if he's not home in time to feed them.
What else?

Blue
in Remembrance
Blue is gone
I found Blue dead next to the water dish when I got home from school today. Both Jeff and I had been wondering the last couple of days if she would get better as it seemed more than a broken wing - she just wasn't right the last few days. Though she did eat like a pig last night and I gave her a dish of peas before bed
Good bye my sweet little Blue ducklet
May you have eggs to sit on that will do something
May your wings work like they used to
Maybe you'll learn how to fly better (or at least land better)

Huh, maybe there was a good thing to my 12+ hour day at school today - dinner was ready when I got home and I missed all the GT headache!
