  1. I'm so sorry she wasn't with you longer but I am glad she was able to spend her last days in your loving home and hearts. sending hugs and love
  2. that was so hard to watch It SO sucks when something's going on with our babies that we are powerless to help. No advice (didn't look like a seizure, at least like what our Rainey had) but sending many prayers she'll be ok.
  3. I'm so very sorry your sweet Charlie had to leave you the picture of him sitting on Mazy's head is simply priceless
  4. same thing here. 90% of the dogs we encounter while walking, either another dog being walked (and HOPEFULLY on leash!) or in a fenced-in yard bark like crazy at our Rick too. I didn't have this issue with Larry and Zeke although LARRY was the crazy dog that was a greyhound snob and barked at the other dogs so that may be why....
  5. has Carter been tested for hookworms? For the past 5-8 years now hounds have had hookworms that are resistant to the standard deworming meds (i.e. Drontal Plus, Panacur, etc.). Our Rick (adopted last November) has them as does every single hound that I know that have been adopted in the past year or so. Rick gets the squealy stomach and inappetance when they are active
  6. I'm so very sorry he sounded like the perfect boy. Sending hugs
  7. My angel Larry had corns on 3 of 4 feet and couldn't have survived without his Therapaws (you can buy them online). I have 9 still (all used) - where are you located? If you are nearby I can give you a couple to try. also, I would Dremmel his corns down to the pad level every week or so and that seemed to help. I used to have the vet hull them out (using a dental root elevator) but I swear they would come back in worse and larger every time so I just did the Dremmeling for the last few years.
  8. I am so very sorry your sweet girl had to leave you what a wonderful tribute.
  9. so glad to see she's doing well! keep up the good healing Sweep!
  10. I am so very sorry sending hugs to you
  11. just seeing this! Sending TONS of hugs and prayers Sweep's and your way!
  12. I was going to suggest amantadine (relatively unheard of drug for the most part, for pain anyway) -- it was a miracle drug for our Larry and his back end issues - gave us 5 more months with him -- but you are already using that. Sending prayers you can find out what's going on. Sounds like a disc issue to me but hard to say.
  13. the cimetidine route was the ONLY thing that help our Larry's corns. We bought generic (Walgreen's) brand as it's quite expensive. We stopped it due to unrelated issues and from there just ground them down. It seemed like whenever I had them hulled, they'd come back 2 times as large each time so I stopped doing that (plus it was $30 every single time and they needed to be done every 6 weeks of so!). Good luck, I know how much they suck.
  14. I second the suggestion to make your own broth. You can use boneless cuts (trimmed of fat) or pieces/whole chicken. I add a chopped carrot or 2 to the broth to add a little flavor then those are toppers (yum, chickeny carrots!) on Rick's food. I do use a "soup sock" (or you can use cheese cloth) to put the carrots in so I don't have to worry about getting any bones in with the carrots. I also save the meat (carefully picked of any bones!) for snackies and toppers too. I'll reduce the resulting stock down a bit to concentrate it (so less room to store in the freezer) and add some water to it in a measuring cup before nuking it to warm up and put on his kibble to soak. I too have been somewhat concerned about the onion and garlic in the box stock so I avoid it (why give them something that might be bad if you can easily make your own safely ).
  15. I was always so happy that someone on GT adopted one of the pups she was just beautiful. I'm so glad you were her mom!
  16. hey! That's ME in the middle there! yeah, I remember Ms. Jones (your Lulu) Bruce made me drive because he knew how dangerous me in the back with those puppies would be (I wouldn't want to let one go ) Good to see you back! congrats on the soon-to-be fostering/adopting
  17. I am so very, very sorry I'm grateful her last time on earth was in your loving arms and not in the hell hole (or worse) that she came from. Sending hugs
