Each foster family will need to have a fully fenced yard for the dogs we place in foster. Although a block wall is ideal, chain link fencing will also work. A doggie door is also an ideal solution to frequent trips outside, but we know that this may not always be possible. Greyhounds should be let out at least once every 5-7 hours. Below is a listing of some medical conditions that greyhounds are prone to and some ideas to fix the problems before seeking medical attention.
Greyhounds get gas when they are nervous or stressed.
We have found that you can give them 2 TBSP of low fat plain yogurt either on their food or separately and that it will calm down their digestive track. Vomiting Most greyhounds will eat grass to induce vomiting if they have an upset stomach. You can offer them a plain piece of bread to help calm down the extra acid. The clinic will go over all after surgery care instructions with you. Please pay attention to them.
