If you do use it....don't use to much of it...as it could upset your pups tummy. A good bite sized bait is VIP chunkers you can get them in a bag from their local supermarket. There are a couple of different flavours and most dogs like them :D they make good bait as well as they smell, are smallish and the dog doesn't have to stop and chew for a while...lol.

I have not met one dog who doesn't nearly turn themselves inside out when I have those Chunkers :cool:

One of our adopted greyhounds we found out was fed on fruit, because she liked it, not only was she a skeleton and she had some bleeding from the gut...

Chicken Mince and Mutton Mince have a good amount of fat, and you can also include lard and Canola oil to their meals...

Can you cook me up some?

Sounds like a stressed little puppy - which is normal...

As long as she is drinking and seems happy, I wouldn't worry too much...

One chicken neck for her size and age probably is okay, also with the fact that she had worms, yep give it a few days to start clearing up...

Tia has been stiff and sore all summer

She has arthritis in her spine

I'm just about to start on the fortnightly injections - fingers crossed for her...

Sending healing white light to Tyler...

Mel xx

Hmm think I might do mine fortnightly for a couple of months...

Sarah in charge

I was just on K9's website thinking damn why is he never in Perth - and then I found this thread, spooky indeed

I will be there and can put the word out amongst adopters etc

Frequency depends entirely on the dog. Mine bitch had a course of weekly for a month, then once a month for three months and now she is once every three months.

I also have her on a senior dog food with glucosamine and chrondoitin, and also give glucosamine tablets.

She was on injections every week for a month as well and now once a month...

She is also on metacam every day...

I'm waiting for the Sasha's blend to come through...

She just seems so frail and does limp

Mel xx

How often do you have to have the injections?

I had to inject Tia quite often at first and now I do it once per month...

Maybe I need to up her dose?

Mel xx

I guess like humans all dogs are different...

I haven't noticed any great changes in Tia and she has been on Cartrophen for many months now...

I am bawling my eyes out sitting here reading his story

How remarkable that he chose your son to be with when he passed on...

Run free sweet Pippin

Mel xx

17 wow, what an amazing life she lived...

Run free sweet Tia

Our thoughts are with you GDG

Natural Balance is my choice of dry food

Oh wait a minute, forgot the other was Jade

One of our hounds (yes again) was named Jade, she is unfortunately at the Rainbow Bridge already...

Gorgeous names...

Mel xx

thanks greyhoundangel

They certainly brought us much love and laughter in their short time here

Amazing little animals

It doesn't quite seem fair does it?

After I lost my first girl, it was around 3 yrs before I good adopt anymore...

Love the names by the way, I have a Tia (greyhound) and one of my sweet girls who went through a lot is named Crystal (greyhound also)

Oh how sad to lose two so quickly

Yes three and a half is a good innings

Scurry free little ones...

Mel xx

OMG I've only just read this. Oh Pampa I hope your girl is okay!!!!

Send well wishes

Unconditional Love.

When a dog offers you his heart

Accept it with a smile

For his love will last a lifetime -

Which is such a little while.

When a dog offers you his heart

Take it gladly and with pride

For he will be a faithful friend

Ever by your side.

A dog loves you because you're you -

Not for how you speak or what job you do

You could be short, tall, thin or fat

Or ugly as sin, he doesn't care about that.

A dog knows if you're good or bad

He can see inside your soul

When he decides you're okay

To earn your love is his main goal.

When you're sad, he'll comfort you

And kiss away each tear

You may even wake up in the morning

With a cold nose in your ear.

When eventually the time comes

And the lights in his eyes dim

A new star will shine in Heaven

In remembrance of him.

You'll gaze up at the midnight sky

And you will hear him say -

"I'm so glad you were my human

We'll meet again some day!"

So, if this poem has caused a tear to fall

That's because you love the dog who's giving you his all

Go travel on together, happily paw in glove

He's the only one who'll ever give you unconditional love.

When a dog offers you his heart

Accept it with a smile

For his love will last a lifetime -

Which is such a little while.

Thinking of you both...

With our hounds, out of the three that passed away, two ate on ground level and the other had his food raised...

It's a horrible condition, and I don't wish it on anybody's dogs...

There are too many variables when it comes to bloat and still not enough information known...

I am pretty sure though that there is an operation that you can have done to help stop it from happening again, as since it has happened once you will have to keep a close eye on him...

Good luck and I am so glad that you were able to save your dogs life, we have unfortunately lost three dogs to bloat

Run free little boy

At least he passed away knowing that he was cared about...
