Hi everyone I am writing this hoping that one of you may have had a similar problem. My 7 year old Whippet Bullitt has been going down hill now for about 6 weeks. Until then he was in normal health

He has seen 3 vets including a specialist in Leicester and we still cant find out what is wrong with him.

He started to get very fussy about his food and started to loose weight before this he would eat anything at any time. He has lost almost 4Kilos now and is all ribs. His wee is very brown but poo normal. He was sick dark stuff twice about 4 weeks ago.

He is having problems breathing and its very laboured. He is very lethargic and when we go out for a walk he can hardly keep up with my normal walking pace.

He sleeps a lot of the time and is not interested in any thing, even our other whippet.

He has had blood tests that show is anaemic but they cant find out why?

He has had x rays that show nothing on his chest but he cant breath properly. He had two lots of antibiotics to no avail an anti inflammatory liquid to put is his food nothing has worked.

His fur has started to go very white on his face? Not sure if that is related? If anyone has any suggestions or had the same with their whippet or another breed please PM me

yours in desperation
