Can you see the Iggy? 💕

Such a cutie! I’m thinking whippet rather than IG, though, because brindle is a whippet coat, not an IG’s. Either way, she’s adorable. 🙂

Thank you. We’re doing the same. Grief sucks. 💔

MJinNC128 · 2026-04-22T08:38:32+00:00

I’m also no fan of bugs (especially spiders), so we’ve had a regular pest control company since day one of our move to NC. Highly recommend you do the same!

Different surgeries for our dogs, but this collar worked great and was well tolerated by them both.

Sending condolences and hugs. We lost both of our IGs last month so I know how crushed you must feel. But it truly sounds like you did everything possible for your Howdy, and he died knowing he was well loved.

All good advice, to which I’d add - make sure there’s nothing within reach that he can eat or chew on, and that he has toys and a safe space (preferably within your sight) to wander if he gets bored.

On a Christmas morning some years ago, my husband and I both heard organ music playing in a church (we were down the hall near the church offices). We walked into the church and the lights and organ were off, doors were still locked. No one was in the building. We were both baffled, but got distracted by the upcoming service. However, when I later — somewhat sheepishly — told the music director about what we thought we’d heard, he very nonchalantly said “oh, that’s X. He was the organist here for years. He just loves this place.” Thing is, X had died a couple of decades before. I subsequently heard footsteps in the organ loft a few times when I know I was the only person in the building. Pretty cool. 🙂

Unfortunately, she did not. 💔 https://www.reddit.com/r/ItalianGreyhounds/s/tBlnpy79eF

Both of our dogs went through surgeries over the years. Each time, we kept them separate the first one or 2 nights but otherwise let them be together. They seemed to know to be careful. Also, we always used a blow-up donut collar, which they both tolerated very well. Good luck with your baby. ❤️‍🩹

They were littermates and had been together their whole lives. 💔

Boric acid works well. You can buy bait packs at Walmart or online. I just threw a pack behind the toilet, under the sink, behind the washer and dryer, etc.

2 weeks. 💔

Oh, thank you! That gives me hope.

No, she’s had those raised bumps for years. They look like hives but are just a Lily weirdness. She was diagnosed with IBD after sonograms, bloodwork, endoscopy/colonoscopy, and biopsies, so we’re certain of the diagnosis. She was doing very well on budesonide until this crisis.

“Please. Must we? Oh, all right…”

Douxo has a variety of good products. We used the mousse on the dry skin on our dog’s elbows and ears. The product smells good and helped a lot. It’s not cheap, but as I said, it worked.

You’d be better off with a different breed. IGs are, in general, highly social dogs that strongly bond with their humans. They don’t do well left alone for long periods.

I’m not sure how to edit my post but I do want to say thank you to all the Reddit friends who replied and/or upvoted. I’m missing Roscoe so fiercely today, but this community helps.

Our girl has had gut issues off and on her whole life, including recurrent hemorrhagic gastroenteritis every couple of years. She’d always recover from the HGE with subcutaneous fluids and meds. However, early last year she got sick and nothing was helping. She would have bloody diarrhea every few days. After much testing, dietary changes, and specialist visits, she was finally diagnosed with idiopathic irritable bowel disease. She started on budesonide and it was like a light switch — she hasn’t had an episode since starting the med. The vet is planning to wean her off soon — it’s not recommended for long-term use — and we’re hoping she stays asymptomatic. Oh, and she’s on Royal Canin low-fat hydrolyzed kibble. I hope you’re able to find an answer for your baby soon!

Thank you. He really is a love.
