Thank you for your message. This all sounds like good advice. We did get the dry version of the food but then she was ill so I stopped giving it to her. It does sound like we're overfeeding her. We do give her 3 meals a day. I think because she was sick bright yellow bile in the mornings I...

I just wrote a really long reply here and somehow it's disappeared ha ha. But if you do get it twice I apologise. It basicly said .. I didn't know overfeeding did that! We do feed her 3 times a day! She can get so skinny when ill so when she's well we like her to eat well. I have told the vet...

Lilly came to us as a puppy with giardia and it has been spotted in earlier poo samples when she was younger. She's been on and off antibiotics all her little life. The last sample came back negative. Lilly was ill again Friday night but not so bad as before. She was ok Saturday and Sunday...

Thank you. I'm going to keep a diary and see if it shows a pattern we've not thought of. She'd been on the pills right up until she went to the dog sitter so that may be why she was well. The dog sitter feed her the same food I do, I'd given it to her to use. Her stay there would of been totally...

We may have to do that. She was running around the park with a babies dummy in her mouth the other day and wouldn't give it up! She then played the 'you can't catch me game'!! She should of been called Womble, she loves to tidy up/carrying litter. Or peeing on it. Depends on her mood ha ha.

She's a small whippet. Often people think she's an Italian greyhound.

I was just thinking about a probiotic. I'll try live yoghurt and see what happens. How much should I give her?

She was ill again last night... I love her but it's killing me having to wake up every hour to let her out! I left the door open in the end but then can't sleep because I think someone is in the house! (the area has had a rise in buglaries lately). The other thing it may be is that it's not food...

That is a good idea I could try the Wainwrights again. I'm having the same problem today. She has been fine on the vets food for ages but has started to become ill again. It's only got chicken and rice in it plus the bit of mince I add. ( I've noticed if I give her the mince when it's just been...

Thanks I'll give green tripe a miss I think. Ha ha. I'm sure I can work something out about travelling with frozen food. Thank you for your help.

Thank you Biker John. That's good to know your whippet is ok on a raw diet. I've seen Natural Instinct in our local garden centre pet food shop. If things don't improve I'm going to give it a go. My only concern is, what do you do if you go away with your whippet? We have family that are a 3.5...

Can anybody help please! What is the best food for a whippet. Lilly is 2 and a half now and is still suffering with an upset tummy! It was ok for a while but now seems to be back. We've been to the vets constantly. Poo tests come back showing nothing is wrong, so do blood tests. The only thing...

Thank you goldenbear2013.

Hi there, the pups mum got in with the puppies by mistake and they took advantage of her milk while she was there. It's all been a bit of a nightmare for the breeder, just at a time she has people wanting to take them to their new homes. Little Lilly is now bouncing around and seems much better...

Thank you so much Sophie, this is most helpful! Unfortunately Lilly is ill so the breeder may keep her another week. She's an upset tummy due to her mum being on antibiotics and them getting to the pups through her milk. I'm trying to attach a picture or her at 6 weeks, fingers crossed it works!

Hi, I'm new to the site too and need advice. We're picking up our 8.5 week whippet puppy on Saturday (Lilly). Very excited!! Our journey is 2hrs so fingers crossed she will be ok on my lap. We were told not to put her in a crate but to hold her as she may never want to go in a crate again if the...
