Apparently he's quite elderly, and the poor chap had kennel cough, a secondary infection and mange when he was taken out of the pound.
He's a lot better now, as you can seeand provided he and Willow hit it off, then after a 12 hour round trip (cos he's in Durham and I'm near Yeovil in Somerset!) he'll be coming home with us :wub:![]()
Now, I've never had an elderly whippet before, although I have had elderly collies so am reasonably aware of general aging problems.
I was just wondering though whether I need to be aware of anything specific to aging whippets - especially one whose had at least one terrible period of neglect? Should I be feeding him any joint supplements for instance such as Cortaflex? Any particular food that seems to help or hinder them?

IM A FIRM BELIEVER IN WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND! WHOEVER DID THAT WILL GET HIS COME UPPANCE!
IM FURIOUS :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:
I'm probably worrying too much as he is apparently quite healthy at the moment, but I feel that if I'm taking this lad on then I need to do the best I can for him, so any thoughts gratefully accepted.
