    Why did my puppy die?

    I'm so sorry for you and the puppy. I don't know if the vet could have done anything, but am surprised he wasn't more concerned. The things that spring to my mind re bleeding are liver disease, warfarin (rat poison) and hemorrhage ... too many possibilities

    Greyhound too Porky?

    I wouldnt think she would need much more than 300 gm a day (it does depend on the type of food and how tall she is - which would give an idea of ideal weight).

    New Home Needed Whippets - jake and penny (4 years old)

    I thought you were working with JR, Kathryn. Have you started a new rescue? Good opportunity for anyone who is dog free at present - it's nice to have two dogs but only advised that you get them at the same time if they are already bonded.
