Oh I am sorry to hear that. Izzy is on a dried food at the mo but loves tinned foor so she would be in seventh heaven if that were for the rest of her life. Thanks you for your help

Hi, No sorry live in Hampshire but thanks for the thought. Is she still on a special diet or did she eventually go back to original one?

Hi, I posted last week as my 3 year whippet, Izzy, had been weeing and drinking excessively. After a trip to the vets , she had blood and urine sent off to the labs and it has come back that she has these Struvite Cystals. She has to go back in tomorrow for an x-ray as the vet wants to see if...

Hi she is feed a completely dry feed which is designed for fussy eaters. Well he just wants to play all the time and she knows that he is the boss. I they both go for the ball she will back down and let him have it. When she has had enough she goes off on her own and finds somewhere quiet to...

Hi, I have a 3 year old whippet bitch. She has been speyed. She is very slight in build, weighing only 8.75kg. She loses wieght very quickly if over excerised. She gets extremly stressed in unfamiliar situations. The problem is she has started to pee indoors during the day. Up until about 3...

Hi, I have one of each. Izzy is definitly more aloof. She will ask for a cuddle but only when she wants one. She likes to play but again only when she is ready. She does come when called but thats more because she doesn't want to get left behind. Albie is one big softie. He loves cuddles and...

I could indeed do that and probably will. I just thought that I could dip into the opinions of others.

Hi, Albie is 5 1/2 months old and built like a tank. He is all muscle and adorabe but walking is a complete nightmare. Not only does he pull but he does that crazy jumping/twirling thing that a lot of whippies seem to do. (or maybe just mine!!!) Anyway I have tried the stop/start method, the...

Hi, Just a quick question What kind of yoghurt do you give your whippets and how much? My vet has suggested it as Albie still has slightly runny poo. There is nothing wrong with him physically so I am changing his diet to a more natural one and giving yoghurt but there are so many different...

Hi, I had my bitch speyed at 2 years. Her first season went fine, hardly noticed she was having one but the second was horrid. She was moody and unsettled. She picked fights with everyone. She didn't want to go out, just sulked. As soon as I could I had her booked in but when the day came it...

Thats beautiful. Makes you stop and think.

Hi and thanks, I have taken on board everything that you all have said and it has been very helpful. I must just say that Albie was on the dry complete food for 6 weeks before he had any problems and when I said it was a natural product, I meant that the stuff in it comes from natural sources...

He was vaccinated at 9 weeks and wormed at 10 weeks. I did think that maybe this contributed to his problem. Trouble is he doesn't appear ill. The little toad has run rings round his older playmate today. He is so full of engery and is very alert. Still he comes off all antibioticx on...

Hi, The strange thing is that Albie has been on a dry food plus tinned meat since he was weaned and has only just got this problem a week ago. Surly if it was food to blame he would have reacted straight away. I complete agree that some commercial dog fods are full of stuff that dogs wouldn't...

Well he has now been on a diet of chicken and rice for 3 days and his diarohea has stopped. I've got to go back to vets on wednesday as he is due for 2nd vaccination so I will mention about a natural diet and see if this would help him. I have always been recommended a complete dry diet by...

Hi all, Albie is now 12 weeks old (I will post pics of him as soon as I can get him to stay still). Anyway at 11 weeks he had a small bout of diarohea. So I straved him overnight and then gave him chicken and rice until all settled down. However within 48 hours the diarohea was back!! He has...

Hi, Thanks to all that have replied. its good to know that we are on the right track. I'll post again to let you how he is getting on Angela

Hi all whippy owners, What a great forum. Since I joined I have read loads of your posts. Its really reassuring that my dogs are 'normal' and that I haven't stuffed up as an owner. I am not new to whippets. I have a 3 year old bitch, Izzy. From day one she fitted into my rountine. She woke up...
