We understand how much it upsets you, our little girl Petal was still charging round the fields at the age of 15! Please don't loose sight of the amazing work your doing with her and her recovery is down to you, her trusting in you is lovely. If you need any help with anything just let us know, we have a little bit of experience with older grey's. We would rate metacam a lot, it got Petal through to 16 xx

When my Tigger was very ill last Christmas I saved over £250 buying her antibiotics and pain killers thro the internet - my vets prescription was £10 each product but it was still a huge saving. Tig had damaged discs in her neck ... she was given Tramadol as painkillers by The Willows ... (she had to take 3x daily plus Metacam 🙁 ) anyway I meant to say that my vets were not keen to prescribe them and only did because The Willows had given them to Tig when they treated her BUT they were obviously a much better pain killer so when Maisie needs a bit more help than Metacam there are other options .. also have a look on Greyhound Gap's forum cos every so often someone asks what pain relief everyone's dogs are on and I've learnt a lot from them .. I just wish I'd known before I lost my last lurcher with desparate arthritis and my vet said there were no other painkillers to help him 🙁 J xx

does anyone have any tips on whining? He's being the model house mate, except he is begining to whine a little when he goes to bed. Ive left Classic FM on for him and he has a little light, but for a good 20 mins he really whines. Not sure if Im supposed to go down and tell him off, or just ignore it? any help would be appreciated xx

Thanks Mand, thats really helpful as I planned to use the company that Rich recommended - cant believe the difference in the price!! maisie has had a bit of a dodgy day today, going down on her back end a couple of times whilst going to the loo. it upsets me, but then I realise that she will have good days and bad, and I mustn't forget the huge improvement in her state since she arrived. I wish I had a magic wand to make it all better for her - she is so brave & trusting. X

Our vets gave us a prescription that lasted 6 months, which covered about 2 lots of metacam for petal, they charges us £12 for the prescription. We then sent it to the company and they kept it on file so we didn’t have to re-send one out (as long as it was still in date). Hope this helps your little angel :). Rich, Manda, Rolo & Chillie xxx

Hi lady victoria, if you girl is anything like ringo flypants she must be lovely. I just can't get over how sweet he is, absolutely no trouble at all, clean, lazy and just happy to potter around. He has been a little nervous but today he had a little play with a stuffed bone, throwing it in the air. We took him for his first proper off lead run today in an enclosed field. One blast and he was spent!! Im not sure the last time he had a good run, but he flaked out for hours after. He hates the muzzle tho and I wish I could take it off him, but Ruth suggests leaving on for the forseeable future because of the cat and after witnessing his speed when he lunged, I can see why. He will get there and Im loving every second with him xx He doesn't like Guitars tho (or maybe it was Stus playing!! lol)

Had a look at the metacam online prices & the difference is huge! My vets charge £10 per prescription - is that about right? Be good to know what everyone else is being charged. Thanks guys. X

Hi lisag, Ringo has the same Father as my greyhound Twiggy; she is white and black too. You are right they are so lovely, I have had her four years now and when I look at her she still takes my breath away. Hope all continues to go well. Kind regards xx

Poor boy, reminds me of our Rolo. The right people will come along and give him all that he needs and he will soon relax when left on his own. Hope that lucky person comes to get you soon. All our love Rich, Manda, Rolo & Chillie xxx

Hi just to let you all know Sidney(Jip) is recovering really well from his operation, they removed his tumour on his tail but unfortunately had to have a large tooth out at the same time, so he really went through a rough time on Friday. He is recovering really well though and his appetite has gone through the roof!!! We've got an appointment at the vets tonight for a check up and they will let us know the results of his tumour soon. All in all he has been fantastic, he's great with the kids and we absolutely adore himxx Ps. we need some more food, can we pop over the weekend to pick some up and do we need to ring beforehand?
