So sad and horrific. I wish the media would wait until details are confirmed, rather than reporting speculation. My heart goes out to all involved.

Run free Darcy. Hugs

Love black faces!

Run free Bubby. You were well loved. Hugs to you all Bubbity, and my sincerest condolences.

Interesting. I got 7 wrong, and I think it was hard to sometimes decipher the photographs. It did tell me my knowledge was top-notch!! This would be a useful tool for a novice dog owner I think. Thanks for sharing.

So sad.... Every new dog owner should be made to read this, and told to really think about life with a dog in it.

Sooo beautiful

How funny!

Beautiful!

Fingers crossed.

Congrats!!! Sorry about the 2 little precious ones. Hugs.

Hugs to you. So sorry for your loss.

So sorry Hugs to all, they take away a piece of our hearts with them, to hold onto forever.

Had a cry this morning when I updated her registration details. I so want her back, but know it was best for her, so being selfish

Thank you

We said goodbye to Whitney this morning. She's left huge pawprints on our hearts. She was a special girl. RIP 22/12/05 - 14/8/17. Hildydane Whitneigh

Our great dane had her ACL done in 2011 (she is now 11yrs and 4 months old) and had a great recovery. We didn't confine her to a crate, but had her shut in the lounge room (not big) if we were out and supervised outside. Hubby works shifts so was generally at home. She has now developed arthritis, but probably would have anyway due to her age. She has never injured the other leg. We found that early on in the recovery period she was happy to laze around, but we had to keep an eye on her at about 3-4 weeks when she wanted to be more active. We found her running around with our greyhound a few times, but it didn't do any lasting damage. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Whitney does this too, and great dane's poop goes a loooong way. Picking it up is always fun as you get to follow a trail Harry (who is no longer with us) the greyhound used to do what we called a "happy dance'. When he had done something he thought was amazing or fun, he would stamp his front feet in one spot and look at us with the silliest grin on his face. He was commonly known as "Harry the Clown".

These are made up for my great dane, although the 5mg of of Pimobendan is not the right dosage (should be 10mg) and I would think the Frusemide would then be too much. I would think that the dosage would suit a large breed dog. The vet said it was a really unusual dosage combination so they didn't want them back, and are replacing with the correct ones for me.

I wasn't sure if I should put this in the health section or here, so if I need ro move this, let me know. I have 100 tablets of Frusemide Pimobendan (Vetmedin) 80mg 5mg compunded. They were made up in error for me and the vet doesn't want them back. Is there anyone on here who would like them fo their dog. It's a pity to just throw them out, so I was hoping someone's pooch is on the same mixture and could use them.

Such a happy story, thanks!

Our great dane Whitney was diagnosed with DCM in August, 2014. We were told she would be lucky to make Christmas. She in on compounded Vetmedin and Furosemide, and is still going. The medication has worked remarkably well, and she is now 11 yrs and 1 month old. She has not had any deterioration to her heart, as she was scanned again last year, and there was no change. The results were passed on to SASH for confirmation, and they concurred with our vet. She was also diagnosed with atrial fibrillation in November, 2015, and now with bone cancer last week. Remarkably she is still going, we can't believe it! Her DCM is well controlled, so her survival well past the prediction for a giant breed is a great bonus for us, although apparently the meds don't always work so well. Fingers crossed you have as much success!

So sad for you. Whatever you need to do, you do. Heartbreaking. Hugs to all.

Such a happy outcome. Good to see a beautiful greyhound in a great home! Well done
