    Barfing For Attention?

    I think it could be the kibble too. Pepper used to vomit bile periodically in the morning when she was on Nutro. I too thought that it was an empty stomach. Several years ago I switched everybody to Holistic Select Anchovy Sardine and Salmon and the vomiting stopped completely. I do not think that it was a coincidence.

    I guess to me he looks small next to your girls. Also he sort of looks like he has already grown into his paws; can't say the same about the earsies. :wub: He looks to be the size of my longdog Smokey who is a grey/whippet mix and looks like a shrunken down greyhound. As the time we adopted him as a puppy, a stray picked up in Birmingham and likely bred by travelers, the rescue warned us that they did not know how big he would grow. Gotta laugh, he is 40 lbs soaking wet at 5 years old. :lol Ted does have the cute almond eyes but I have seen greys that have that look.

    That is a tough one. If she is doing ok with the TheraPaw and will bear weight on it, part of me thinks that I would just continue with that protocol. I can think of one person whose dog needs to wear the TheraPaw on her back paw when she is walking on hard surfaces. She is fine on grass and carpet. They don't consider it a big deal and just use the bootie for her and she does fine with it. My ex racer had a back toe amputated while he was still racing because it kept dislocating but it was non-weight bearing and that was before I adopted him.

    Dear Andrea:

     

    I had no idea that Emily was gone. My heart goes out to you. I am so very sorry for your loss. I know what a real sweetheart she was and how much she meant to you. Felix must also miss his big sister. :cry1

    Yes, take him to the e-vet.

     

    edited to add: Bites are very dirty and also, they may be deeper than they seem. He should get antibiotics too. If you wait too long to sew up a wound, it likely can't be done.

     

    I would DEFINITELY take my dog to the e-vet.

    Frontline Plus And Frontline Top Spot

    Plus controls ticks, Top Spot does not.

     

    Frontline Plus is safe for greyhounds. If you don't have a problem with ticks, stay with the Top Spot.

     

     

    This is not true. Both control ticks. The frontline plus has an added ingredient that also kills flea eggs and larvae. You can get all this information on Merial's website or any others that sell these products online. Our group recommends the Top Spot only because why expose your dog to another pesticide if the Top Spot is really just as effective in controlling fleas? It is also cheaper than Frontline Plus. In addition, greys can have an adverse reaction to Plus with the added ingredient, when then do not from Top Spot. I would stick to the Top Spot.

     

    Edited to add: Many vets only sell the Frontline Plus, but you can order the Top Spot online. No prescription needed.
