Lennard 10 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) L.S., The new edition of Care of the Racing and Retired Greyhound by Blyte, Gannon, Craig and Fegan costs a couple of bucks especially as hard cover...but it is a good buy when you have running dogs at home. The book can more or less be divided into 3 parts: First part gives detailed and adequate information on greyhound anatomy fysiology...nice drawings. Second part handles about ailments and injuries and their therapy/control. Really in depth. From all about toes to muscles to mental disorders. Third part handles about medication, farmacokinetics and nutrition for performance. Handy tips...proper use of creatine and such Recommended buy...for reading and applying it helps when one has somewhat of a medical/veterinary background. L.

hunter cammo 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 is there eny need for a book like that ? PTS is the best way to go for retierd greyhounds , why should the general public have to look after these animals ? ok some make good pets but how much of the geneal public have masive gaffs to let a pure grey roam about in just to give it the magical life and happy ending it deserves ? not to mention if it is a hit or a miss if the dog in question shits and pisses all over your home for the first few months and takes the face off of enything that can run ! PTS is the most humain way for these dogs and more responsabilty should be put on the race owners , imo these basterds get off with far to much , once these dogs are (spent) they are dumpt on do gooders under faulse pretence , greyhound breeders racers should be made to look after these animals until they die a natural death , lurchermen do it and what they do is far more natural than what greyhound men do , GREYHOUND MEN ARE SCUM and i dont care what enyone says ! it is true..................

Lennard 10 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Ehhhh... The information in the book is on fysiology, pathology and feeding/training/racing of greyhounds with a lot of data and veterinary information. It is not one of the whimsical booklets on how to care for your ex-racer... L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
