I believe I got Niki from The National Borzoi Rescue. She was about two. Great dog. A little more shy than most. But certainly not a spook. She has been a great fit with all the dogs. Littles and greys!

I also saw that there was a SPECIFIC GRAVITY URINALYSIS 1.036 though it was not first morning. According to everything I have found to read she has really great results. She claimed she had very extensive greyhound experience, and she knew the difference in blood values for a greyhound. Damn, hate this. Thanks everyone.

Finally got the blood test results. The BUN is at 14, and the creatinine is at 1.7. Thanks everyone.

Mine sheds something terribly!!! Could be that she wants to be in the cold climate and I have her in one of the hottest! She has the sweet temperament of like a grey. Not sure if that is all sighthounds or I'm just lucky so far. I got Nikita from National Borzoi Rescue. She is almost 8. She has been a wonderful dog.

I haven gotten the actual full results yet. They wrreclosed by the time my procedure was done. Ill try to get tomorrow. Im interested to see what my Cosmo used to be. But im glad itsnot a freak out moment yet. Thankx

Sorry, does that mean I catch the urine? First morning?

I had bloodwork done, only because she is 12. Kinda getting old for a Grey. I don't have blood work results in had so might be premature. Everything good but kidney levels. Vet said should be 1.5. Kala is 1.7. Recommended KD Food. Money back guarantee if she doesn't like it. Any thoughts on this? Recommendations? Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I will be talking to the vet about a different med. but in the mean time I have adjusted her to 1/2pill 2x a day. If she continues to do well, I'll even try 1/2 once a day. Thanks everyone.

Thanks. I'll check it out. She's always been a tiny little thing. 50# dripping wet on a good day!! I think I'll try 1/2 2x a day.... Tbhounds, you say that then don't say anything else. Can I ask why? She is 11.5 years old. Maybe 50#. Skinny. Been on the satin meatballs for the last year as a supplement. All labs and everything are great. Just skinny as she ages. But the proin has been great. I'm interested in your thoughts on this...or anyone's for that matter.

So I blew it. Kala has been on these meds about a year. I didn't realize that my vet was going to be closed for 2 weeks for the holiday. (Proin 50 mg) I will run out of them Monday A.M. Won't be able to even try to get them refilled before Tuesday. Can I give her one a day every few days? I will try another vet but I doubt that they will help they aren't good like that here. Ideas? If anyone is interested they made a WORLD of difference. One accident in the year plus she has. Been taking them. Thanks.

OMG !!!! You are so very lucky. We live in a very rural area and coyotes generally dig under to get in our yard. Also 2.5 acres, fully fenced. The coyote got our tri-pod grey. Ripped he skin all the way off on her right side. We think the only reason She "got-away" was the other 5 Greys heard her yelp and came out to see what was going on and scared it away.

Milk drenched cotton. Try to get him to eat bits. That was told to me years ago.....Not sure I would do it over a vet. All depends how much how large/small. Good luck. Prayers.

Didn't read the posts so I'm it sure if anyone mentioned Aaron? (AJ) I think someone has contact with him on FB. His dog had brain surgery. He might be very helpful. Good luck.

Amazing??? No. They really don't care what I put on their chicken. lol I had a little chicken that needed to be used up. I sliced thin, almost two thin, and just used salt and pepper for the flavor. They loved it. But then mine will eat dirt if I hand feed it to them. lol Anything from Mom and they are happy. As I am sure Ruby will be also!! lol

Thanks everyone.

In talking to my friend that read this: she now mentioned that Collies were mentioned. Would love more imput!! Thanks all Sheila

A friend asked about what to give her dog that had a case of the runs. I told her Imodium. She looked on line and found three or four different sites hat said if your dog has white paws they have a gene that could have adverse reaction to the Imodium and cause brain injury. I know we have a lot of Vets,, almost Vets. Lots of vet-techs. Has any one ever heard of this? Thanks for your insight, opinions, etc. Sheila

I'm so sorry Lucy. I feel the same about Domino. I can look at his picture and cry just like it was yesterday. It's so hard. {{{HUGS}}}

Boxer shorts. Twist up, use a rubber band at the twist (on the back, not under on the belly) to keep snug. Hugs to you and the baby....

Dr Susan Stack was wonderful answered all my questions over the phone and has a couple good articles out on the web to read. She is still in Yuma I think!

I never had to have Cosmo on anything but the fluconazole. I would give the satin balls when needed. Once or twice a week. That always seemed to start his appetite. He keep a healthily weight (75#) up from his 65 pounds at his diagnosis. Good Luck. I loved roadrunner pharmacy out of PX AZ. He got a new toy every time he got a refil!!! Look up the recipe for the meatballs on here. I did not use the egg shells. Good luck. It's not the death sentence that it once was.

I am crying as though she were one of mine. I watched her story from beginning to end. I can't tell you how very sorry I am. Hugs to you, H and the hounds.

I'm not much of a trainer but I have never had a animal that would not drop their "find" in or out. I can always take food from them. I just this am had to take a bird away from Kala Blu. I just told her what a good girl thanks for the mothers day present and took the bird. With ALL the bunnies they have brought in, I have to have control. Just takes once. Sorry. I could never let that go with all the dogs in and out of our house.

Neither one of the pups are close to being as calm as the ones off the track. The pups know a good bark will get me to answer them, but the older ones off the track just dontnget that concept. That is just ONE difference!!!

Far to fast!!! I am so sorry. I remember when you got Tiny and the diet!! Seems like just yesterday..... Hugs to you...
