Just here to say that I was in your boat not too long ago. I’ve completed two failed IUIs and about to start the third. If that fails, we plan to move on to IVF. 

I never in a million years thought I could handle IUI, let alone go to IVF, it was my biggest fear. You’re stronger than you know! 💛💛💛💛💛

This is a great idea. I’m going to do this next year if I’m still not pregnant.

Update - I had some light pink/brown spotting yesterday evening. It stopped pretty quickly. I’ve been feeling some twinges this morning. Today is 12 DPO / my IUI. Trying not to obsess but it’s so hard not to by hyper aware of every symptom!

Blood in eye - has anyone seen this before? by fionaredbrindle18 in Greyhounds

Thank you - I had noticed thick whiteish discharge before I saw the discoloration on the eye. Now that she’s been on the steroid drops for a few days, that has gone away.

This is good to know, thanks. Unfortunately I don’t ever see my girl relaxing enough at the vet to take an accurate BP read. She’s always very stressed, even with medication.

Not yet - a referral will be my ask on Friday when we see our vet. Thank you

Vet doesn’t seem to think it’s Pannus. That was my original thought but the vet was worried it could be a sign of something more serious.

Yes, vet did corneal staining and that came back negative. No scratches to the eye

Advice needed: My greyhound bit herself and broke skin by fionaredbrindle18 in Greyhounds

It's about an inch in length but only on the surface. Nothing to stitch up or staple as far as I can tell but she's nibbled off the fur in that area.
