Very sorry for your loss.

3 years is pretty young for supplements in my opinion also. But whatever. Check here for OTC pets meds, great prices. Or search eBay.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

I used one of the Purina Vet formulas for Donner. I called the 800 number and found out where it is sold locally. And then I called the offices and found the cheapest price and asked if I needed a script from my Vet to buy it. I did not. I just went in and gave them the information on the dog I was buying it for and had no problems buying it after that.

A Dog's Dream is owned by GT'er Lori. aka BooMooandDoo.

Very sad.

Believe me, I don't care at all about my floors. I would gladly clean sh!it my floors for years to come if it meant Sparks would still be with me I just worry about him- I don't want him to be upset I know Kari.

You are doing everything correct Kari. :grouphug My guess is the meds. are probably making him a bit anxious. Spend your time together loving him and just clean it up and not worry about it.

I am so very sorry for your recent losses. :grouphug

Diabetes or high blood pressure come to mind. Also, a neutered male and sudden peeing makes me think enlarged prostate.

UTI's are very painful and can cause referred pain. The increase in drinking and peeing could be a sign of other issues as we, including diabetes. I would also have the Vet check the blood pressure. However, a lot of Vets do not have the equipment to check BP. If your Vet does not, ask where they refer their clients for BP check. Often Vets will work with another Vet for BP checks for a nominal fee. The second Vet does the BP's and sends the info back to your Vet for treatment. LS is not diagnosed by x-ray. An x-ray will rule out other issues which will narrow down the list of possibilities. Fingers crossed that the UTI is a quick fix and the limping goes away with the UTI.

I used it for JD, our 'Tzu with early renal failure and high blood pressure. It was suggested by or holistic Vet.

I know you are doing everything that both you and your Vet think is best for Sparks, based on his test results. I certainly have no layman's advice or nor am I in a position to second guess your team of Vets. Palliative care and pain management is always the correct course of action. The most important thing to do is keep him comfortable, fed and loved.

I am so very sorry Kari. We are here for you. We both love you and miss you. Call if you need to, anytime.

And, barring injury or infirmity, all greyhounds can and will sit. They won't sit, however, if you talk the both of you into believing they can't/won't. Yup, they can sit and/or learn anything other dogs can. 7 of our 8 greyhounds sat or sit on command. Dancer had us trained that when we said "Dancer SIT." She would look at us with her big lipid brown eyes and a forlorn look on her face and we would give her a treat. :lol

Too many http's.
