That's okay, we already know you're crazy!

10 mg. per day. Do not use the flavored chewable ones, unless you are totally sure they DO NOT contain Xylitol!!

No water restrictions here. However, if we notice fast, excessive drinking, say after a lap or two around the yard, we gently walk them around the kitchen island to slow the gulping down. We are not preventing the drinking, we are just slowing them down. And yes, some trainers do not put water in kennel crates. But water is always available in the turnouts and on the backside. And there is usually not water in the pre-race holding kennels.

"So what did you do today Jeff?" "I popped a seed wart on Kiska's paw... But thanks for asking... And how was your day?" :rofl

Add acidophilus to their food. We feed them Purina Lamb and Rice and we always add whatever leftover crap is laying around. No stink ass here.

This.

How about just slipping a snap on the muzzle strap and snapping it to the D-ring of the collar?

Black tarry stools are an very prompt Vet visit in our house. However, the once a month or timing truly makes me think hookworms. We went through this with Danger. I ended up repeated worming him for several days in a row every week or about a month. After that, never another with him. We use wormer from PetsMegaStore, which is an Australian site that has awesome prices and does not require a prescription for most products. We have never had as issue with the products from there, nor the shipping time.

Baby gate him in an area with his food and leave him there until everyone is done. Also, I suggest practicing "trading up" treats to help the issue with moving his food bowl.

Try elevating both the his food and water bowl. Our first greyhound did this, elevated bowls helped stop it. Once you elevate the bowls, evaluate him for a day or two. If the water issue stops. problem solved. If it continues, Vet time.

What hurricane?

Harness and I don't give meds. on an empty tummy. Anne sells a great harness.

Yup, Springtime.

Hooks are very hard to eliminate. It has nothing to do with greyhounds specifically or the track where they raced. Dogs from kenneled environments often have hooks, as do cats for that matter. And because they are very hard to eradicate, a negative test at adoption is not necessarily true. This has no reflection of the level of care the animal received prior to adoption nor prior to arriving at the kennel situation. Hooks happen and they suck. Well, literally they do, but it is a PITA to get rid of them.

BINGO!!

Denamarin needs to be given on an empty tummy, at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after a meal. It can be a liver life saver, as spoken from experience. I read mentions of time before meals, but I did want to share our Vet's instructions. Also, as long as the liver values return to normal and there are no other liver issues, Denamarin can be stopped. Per the instructions of our Internal Vet.

I'm glad to hear they are in the mend. As stated above a few times, TBD's can lay dormant for a long time. This is just an FYI in reference to Lepto. Dogs can STILL get Lepto even if they are up-to-date on their vaccines.

Slide a small snap over the muzzle strap and snap the muzzle to the D-ring of the collar.

My dogs sleep where they choose to. Floor, dog bed, living room, sofa, our bed, it is their choice. Of our 11 greyhounds, only 3 have chosen not to embrace the bed. And they also like to make sure I am going potty according to their specifications. I consider it turnabout-fair play, since I watch them potty.

Killer Daphne?

She was aptly named and a beautiful girl. I am so very sorry for your loss PJ.

Vet and they can get a stool sample.
