Heart goes out to you! I can only make a suggestion that you research as much as you can about natural remedies! Get as much into him as possible to re-balance his system, boost the immune system, and note all the pain control you might require. Modern methods have their place, but TBH, there...

Words of wisdom as always! JudyN, you are always stable and with such eloquence are always able to put things into prespective and NEVER judgemental about our comments or abilities! Thank you for always being supportive! You are a star! J. :)

Thank you Ross, I never had all this trouble with my previous Borzoi, although she did jump after a cat once and pulled me over! LOL! The key point you mentioned quite honestly is 'dogs' pleural! I think that is where all the trouble lies! Lockdown puppy that has been very poorly socialised...

Ha ha! Thanks for making me laugh! I don't let him near stock, of course not, but the risk of him chasing them remains as he is so strong! Mix that with the speed of reaction to not only sight, but smell and sound, the volocity is tremendous! Daniel ( the breeder) shows them, and has always...

Thank you for your reply. Do you have any knowledge of the Borzoi ? There are many points that I could comment on here, but one of the biggest things is that long lines are dangerous, I feel very strongly that they should be banned but that is my personal opinion. I wonder if anyone has a...

OMG! Miracles DO happen hoping for you so much! Vets sadly have very poor knowledge these days but tbh it is not possible to know everything! Have you tried asking for a referral to a specialist vet on gastroenterology?

I think, we are getting somewhere (possibly, maybe!) Ha Ha! He has on several occasions looked and not reacted! However it seems that when he controls himself once, the next occasion is simply too much for him to bear and he is double whammy! H took off at 1000mph a couple of days ago, leads...

(and NOT a BORZOI! LOL)

Hi, interesting point this one! I cannot hold my Borzoi when he leaps at something! HOWEVER! He does not pull constantly! I'm thinking that keeping in mind the dog can only pull if you pull against it? I could never hold my horse or my dog if they were continual pullers - the dog is only...

I most certainly did! He was good again this evening with the cat he has chased twice already to the extent that the poor cats owners have now got a 6' perimiter fence! ( with a little hole the pussy can go back and forth!) The cat was only yards away from us, and frozen in time! I gently...

Thanks! We had a good evening today also! He stayed at my side with the cat he chases next door but one, on the opposite side of the road going in the same direction! He clearly wanted to leave, (Robin did) but he did not pull and he remained with me we managed to pass the cat at around 100...

This is very interesting behaviour! I think it might be floating it by a dog behaviourist too! Robin struggles with getting water (due to long nose!) and we have the kitchen floor flooded constantly! I have his bowl raised and put sponges under this helps. It might be worth checking his...

I'm very, very, sad :( I love my dog almost more than life, but am I being selfish and stupid to keep him? After an unexpected move from one county to another, we found ourselves in an area that was NOT as dog friendly as they indicated the area was! Sounds, great on paper, countryside, canal...

Well we chose a short walk! Kept him on the lead for 10 minutes then let him off just before the river Tern. Yup he did a couple of laps! Far, far, less than normal of course! I allowed him in the river for a couple of minutes then we walked back on the lead fairly quietly! He was hot and I...

Hi! Thanks for your speedy response too! I did not see the post about the ice cubes! Sounds a great idea! I've just been out to buy some ice cube makers as I only had the large ice packs, so I'm gonna give that a go tomorrow when the water has frozen! He is not a fan of coats or bandanas...

Hi JudyN, thank you so much for your speedy response! I have blinds partially closed and yes he has a paddling pool in a shady area, but has not yet used it other than to drink from! LOL! The flannels is a great idea too I did that earlier this afternoon and he definately appreciated that...

Hi! HELP! It is so very hot! 30 degrees indoors with all windows open as much as is safe! fans on (when I am at home) Cooler pad and lots of water available - Robin is still very very hot! Any one of you smart folks out there got any other suggestions please? Thanks!

I get very saddened when humans put human emotions on animals! They simply do not think the same! In certain circumstances an animal will (same as humans!) go for the junk food, but for an animal (especially a prey one!) to go hungry and to the extent of loosing weight! That just does not...

I agree totally I have similar issues with Robin at times and it is dreadfully worrying! Dogs don't lie! If they are hungry and do not eat WORRY! Try politely getting another vet practice to give a second opinion, always remember ONE or TWO people can NEVER know everything!

Hi! Just for thoughts! I hear a lot of great things about Golden Paste! (it's Tumeric based) you might like to look on the Tumeric Users Group for reviews on this, really is quite highly recommended and I have had great success with it for one of my horses! Does all what the vet px does...
