afghan hound!!🐾
Tumblr media
the afghan hound is a sighthound (hunting dog used to track prey mostly using sight) originating from the cold mountains of afghanistan, distinguished by its gorgeous thick, silky coat! the akc describes the breed as, "aloof and dignified aristocrat of sublime beauty" despite this description though, they are still very silly and loyal!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
history
although the afghan is an ancient breed, there is no pictorial record of the afghans. there is a drawing done in 1813 depicting an afghan soldier with a dog that looks similar to the afghan hound of today, indicating that the breed hasn't changed much in appearance even after 200 years! (・o・) the afghan hound was brought to britain by military men as a living souvenir from the exotic lands of where they were posted (kinda messed up)
there were a few dogs imported to the uk during the late 1800s-early 1900s like "shahzada", a cream dog whose body was preserved by the british museum and "zardin" who had many characteristics prized in the breed even today such as his “snowshoe” feet and the visible saddle on his back. he was so awesome ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ) that he became the model for the first afghan hound breed standard, written in 1910-1920.
in the 1920s the importation of afghans rose. the first afghan hound kennel in the uk had desert (also called steppe or bell murray) type dogs which had sparse, silky and light coats. by contrast, the mountain (also called ghazni) type dogs had heavier coats and greater angulation. a ghazni type dog named "sirdar" became very popular as he looked much like zardin, the previous headline maker. eventually both types were crossbred with each other, creating the afghan hounds we have today!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
appearance
afghan hounds generally weigh about 23-27 kg (50-60 lbs) with a height of about 64-69 cm (25-27 in) with a life expectancy of about 12-18 years. it has a thick, silky, flowing coat which is long in length ☆ the saddle hair, or the hair along the back, is short, close and coarser than the rest of the coat and should (by breed standard) have a smooth appearance.
afghan hounds also have a long, silky topknot and a hood of long hair may form from the top of the neck and flow into the shoulders and withers. the hair on their muzzle and cheeks is very short and fine and the hair on their neck may be almost bare of long hair and become an extension of the saddle.
following the breed standard, a LOT of colours are accepted. accepted colours are black, black and tan, black and silver, blue, cream, blue and cream, red, silver and white. accepted markings are black masks, brindles, brindle and black masks, dominos and brindle and dominos!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
temperament
afghan hounds are independent, dignified, and aloof but are affectionate and extremely loyal to the humans they have bonded with! ᡣ𐭩 this loyalty can make it difficult for an adult afghan to adjust to a new home though, but it can make them fairly easy to housetrain because they want to please their owners ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ )
Tumblr media Tumblr media
grooming
afghan hound pups have short, fuzzy coats that require little maintenance. it doesnt stay that way though ૮◞ ﻌ ◟ა as the long, silky coat of an adult afghan requires regular grooming. HOURS of brushing per week (not daily; phew!) is needed to maintain a smooth coat free of debris, mats and tangles. regular bathing, with shampoo and conditioner, is also required to keep its hair soft and silky. what a diva! (っ- ‸ - ς)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
health
afghan hounds are prone to developing hypothyroidism (condition causing decrease in thyroid hormone production), necrotic myelopathy (loss of myelin from the spinal cord, can result in paralysis), sensitivity to anaesthesia and cortisone (vets will help guide afghan owners towards the most appropriate anaesthesia options), gastric dilatation volvulus (gdv; often known as ‘bloat’, a condition where the stomach twists, trapping the contents and gases), panosteitis (a painful, inflammatory bone disease) and laryngeal paralysis (a progressive paralysis of the larynx).
they may also develop eye problems and hip dysplasia, which, by responsible breeders, are conditions tested for along with a thyroid evaluation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
exercise
afghans are sighthounds, bred to hunt and chase prey by sight, so they have a strong instinct to run off in pursuit of anything perceived as prey, causing walking off leash to be not advisable. short walks do not provide enough exercise for this athletic breed so ideally, an afghan hound should have the opportunity to run several times a week for at least two hours in a large, enclosed area. afghans are tall, lean, and strong, which makes them excellent jumpers, so their exercise area must have a high, secure fence! ∩^ω^∩
Tumblr media Tumblr media
training
as stated earlier they are very loyal to their owners and are eager to please them and are quite easy to house train. teaching afghans general commands is sufficient training, although no amount of training will overcome the breeds hunting instinct to break off on a high-speed chase unfortunately ʅ (◞‿◟) ʃ
Tumblr media Tumblr media
fun fact: the afghan hounds long fur was originally developed to protect them from the harsh climate of the mountainous regions of afghanistan, acting as insulation!! ૮ • ﻌ - ა

Since when have there been three of them?
We are fostering! Ghost is Cloud’s little brother, and genetic twin:
Tumblr media
Ghost is almost 5mos old and honestly a perfect puppy. He was returned to the breeder, and since she is in mid-goat kidding season, she asked if we could help out, and of course I said yes. Ghost’s litter had some issues with panosteitis (a super common growth issue in large breed pups from a large litter, usually fixable with moderate activity and diet) and his previous owners were definitely aware of that when they picked him, as well as instructed by the vet/breeder on how to prevent further growth problems, but somewhere along the line his left front leg started to bow out. It’s possible they were over exercising him or not following the diet plan or it’s possible this would have happened either way, but the owners got very shitty with the breeder when she offered them a refund and insisted on returning Ghost since they would not be able to show him (?? he was definitely not sold with show reg, the whole litter was limited reg because of the pano so that was a wtf).
So he showed up in a crate absolutely terrified on Wednesday and at first it seemed like it would be a fight on sight situation between him and Cloud, but after a lot of calm reinforcers, they’re all getting along great. Boon is very resigned about it but Cloud thinks he has found a new Best Friend, and so does Ghost. If you’re wondering if I want to keep him the answer is OF COURSE I DO 😭 but he is going to find a great home once we meet with an orthopedic surgeon and figure out a plan for his leg. He is a way better behaved puppy than Cloud was (my god) and gets along fine with respectful dogs and cats, so he should make someone a wonderful companion. I just have to relinquish control of him first because I already love the little guy.

Of course no pet I own is ever going to be just normal. My 6mo puppy had x-rays today for a mysterious limp and the vet is apparently baffled because absolutely nothing, not even bone inflammation from panosteitis aka "growing pains" showed up. Every animal I own is a medical fucking mystery in their own ways

What is Helpful for Dog Joints and Hips?
Problems of the hip and joint in dogs
Just like us, dogs experience a range of different hip and joint problems. The problems include everything from arthritis to hip dysplasia.
As a dog owner, seeing your canine friend struggle to move freely and knowing that it is in pain is not just worrying but confusing as well, especially when you have to try to work out what is causing the struggle in movement.
Tumblr media
If your dog exhibits these signs, there is no question about booking an appointment with your veterinarian. If your dog has not yet caught up with these problems, do not sit pretty because hip and joint health for dogs doesn’t have to wait until the canine is in trouble.
It helps knowing a little bit more about a few different hip and joint problems in dogs and how to either prevent them or manage the pain and inflammation associated with them.
Common hip and joint problems in dogs
The most common hip and joint problems in dogs include osteoarthritis dissecans (OCD), arthritis, panosteitis, hip dysplasia, and Legg-Calve-perthes disease.
Osteoarthritis dissecans (OCD)
OCD in dogs usually occurs when cartilage, which is the tough tissue that cushions the joints, develops abnormally and then separates from the underlying bone. This causes a limp in the affected dog’s leg.
The exact cause of OCD is not clearly known. The problem usually occurs in the dog’s shoulder joint, but it also affects the elbow, hip, and knee. Joint care for dogs with OCD usually ranges from strict rest, use of joint medicine for dogs such as Antinol for dogs and even surgery, depending on the severity of the cartilage separation.
Arthritis
Arthritis is one of the most common problems for dogs. Statistically, it affects four out of every five dogs over the age of eight. Arthritis in dogs usually involves both inflammation and cartilage loss and is caused by a range of factors, including injury, abnormal joint development, and genetics.
There are some obvious signs to look out for when detecting whether your canine friend has arthritis. This includes the dog being stiff and slow to stand up after lying down or being unable to do the active things it used to do easily.
Thankfully, there are a number of remedies to help with arthritis-related joint pain relief for dogs. These include supplements that you can use to support the dog’s joint health.
Unfortunately, supplements administered toward joint health for dogs won’t stop your dog from developing arthritis, but they can help to delay its onset or progression, as well as help to manage any associated pain and inflammation.
Panosteitis
Panosteitis, which is sometimes known as ‘growing pains," affects young and rapidly growing dogs. It usually resolves on its own by the time the dog is two years old.
The underlying cause of panosteitis isn’t quite known, but larger dog breeds tend to be more prone to the problem. The most common symptom of these hip and joint problems in dogs is sudden, unexplained, and painful lameness in one or more of the dog’s legs, which tends to come and go and can even shift from one leg to another.
What is helpful for dogs with panosteitis is restricting their exercise and using joint medicine for dogs, such as Antinol, which is excellent at managing pain and inflammation.
Hip dysplasia
Hip dysplasia is an abnormal development of a dog’s hip joint. It involves the ball and the socket that make up the dog’s joint not fitting together properly. Instead of sliding smoothly, the ball and socket in dogs with hip dysplasia usually rub and grind against each other. This causes significant pain for the dog, and eventually leads to the development of arthritis in the dog’s hip.
A combination of genetics and lifestyle factors usually play a role in the emergence of hip dysplasia in dogs. Symptoms of the condition usually depend on how severe the problem is, with common signs being stiffness, decreased range of motion, and difficulty jumping or climbing stairs. Dogs with hip dysplasia often have overly large shoulder muscles as a result of compensating for the back legs.
Hip dysplasia is typically treated with a combination of lifestyle changes, including weight loss, anti-inflammatory medications, and surgery. Supplements used in joint care for dogs, such as Antinol for dogs, can also help to protect and nourish the dog’s cartilage.
Legg-calve-perthes disease
Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is another condition that affects dogs’ hips. While the exact cause of this condition is also unknown, the problem results in the hip joint’s ball starting to break down, eventually leading to arthritis and causing the hip to collapse.
In contrast to hip dysplasia, which usually affects both hips, legg-valves-perthes disease affects only one. Treatment options for the condition are usually similar to those used to take care of a dog with hip dysplasia.
Need more information about joint pain relief for dogs?
As a parting shot, don’t try to deal with your dog’s hip and joint problems on your own. Always talk to your veterinarian about any hip or joint concerns you have with your dog. In that way, we will be ensuring that our canine friends continue to comfortably give us company in the many ways they do while we take good care of them.

So the good news is that I think I've figured out Dutch's lameness. The neutral news is that I think it's panosteitis. Not the best, but certainly not the worst. Vet appt in two days to have some diagnostics done and Chubbabun's first set of shots

Got Zeya's pennhips results.
Her right di is .65 and her left is .59
Which is like not great but not as bad as I was bracing for?
The good news is she isn't showing any signs of OA in her hips!! I was concerned bc she had/has panosteitis so I feel like I can never get an accurate read on her pain levels (besides her bad flares).
I am annoyed bc in the discharge paperwork the vet was like 'her knees are low grade luxations and aren't a concern unless she is symptomatic.' I specifically told him I was worried about her knee bc I'm fairly confident it's dislocating when she runs.
Anyway she has a surgical consult in two weeks. I'm hoping to put surgery off for months or years but I want to have the plan ready. We also are on the cancellation list for PT. I'm hoping as Mischief improves we can just slide Zeya into some of her appts.
I literally don't know how I'll afford both their pt tho. Zeya's should be covered but it takes a little bit for them to pay back.

Dog Limping: Possible Causes and Treatments
Tumblr media
Like us, dogs limp for a variety of reasons. Unlike us, dogs can’t tell us what happened or where it hurts using words, leaving us struggling to figure it out for ourselves.
Your most valuable resource for determining the cause of your dog’s limp is your veterinarian. Before calling to make an appointment, however, most of us want to know a little bit about the common causes of limping in dogs, what to expect from a veterinary visit, and when limping is a veterinary emergency.
Gradual Onset vs. Sudden Limping
There are two types of limps: gradual onset and sudden onset. Gradual onset limps happen slowly over time. Sudden limps happen quickly, like their name implies, usually after an injury or trauma. Knowing whether or not your dog’s limp is sudden or gradual can help your veterinarian narrow down the possible causes of your dog’s limp, and can help you determine if your dog’s limp is a veterinary emergency.
In general, gradual onset limps are caused by an underlying, chronic or degenerative condition, such as osteoarthritis or dysplasia. Sudden onset limps, on the other hand, are usually caused by an injury or trauma.
Just because your dog has a gradual limp does not mean you should put off making an appointment. Some causes of gradual limping, such as bone cancer or hip dysplasia, can be treated more effectively if they are caught sooner rather than later.
When to Call the Vet
In general, it is usually better to play it safe and schedule an appointment with a veterinarian for a limp that lasts more than a few minutes, but as with people, dogs seem to have a knack for getting hurt outside of normal office hours. So how do you know when you can wait until the next morning and when you should rush to the emergency room?
Gradual onset limps or sudden onset limps that don’t seem to be bothering your dog too much can usually wait a few hours, and in some cases, may even resolve on their own during the waiting period. In other cases, however, your dog can’t wait.
Broken bones or dislocated joints require immediate care, and nerve damage can be a sign of a more serious neurological condition or spinal injury. You need to get your dog into the veterinarian or veterinary emergency room if your dog shows any of the following signs of an emergency:
Dangling limb (dislocation)
Swelling
Hot limb
Obvious break or unnatural angle
Common Causes of Limping in Dogs
Lameness in dogs is a frequent veterinary complaint, and there is a huge range of possible causes, from chronic conditions to trauma. This may seem overwhelming, but these causes can be broken down into a few categories.
Tumblr media
Paw Injury
If you’ve ever stepped on a piece of glass, then you know how it feels to have something sharp lodged in your foot. Foreign bodies, like glass, nails, sticks, thorns, plant matter, or anything else that should not be in your dog’s paw, hurt. They make it uncomfortable to walk and can lead to infection. Insect and animal stings or bites can also cause tenderness and limping, as can lacerations, broken toenails, burns, frostbite, and bruising. A sign that your dog may have something stuck in his paw is that he will lick his paw incessantly.
Joint Disease
Some conditions cause gradual wear and tear on joints and the musculoskeletal system. This leads to limping. Osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, patellar luxation, ligament disease, intervertebral disk disease, and osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) all can cause limping on any of the affected limbs. Infections like Lyme disease can also cause joint pain and limping, which is just one more reason why it is important to have your dog on an effective tick preventative.
If your dog is diagnosed with arthritis or suffers from dysplasia, your vet will most likely recommend a veterinarian-grade joint supplement of glucosamine and chondroitin. Joint supplements like Glyde Mobility Chews are often used as an early intervention and throughout the progression of osteoarthritis because they are safe for long-term use in most patients. While research is still limited, joint supplements such as Glyde can help reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis and hip dysplasia.
Bone Disease
Some diseases affect the bones in your dog’s legs. Younger dogs, especially large breed puppies, can develop conditions such as hypertrophic osteodystrophy and panosteitis, which make walking painful. Certain cancers, such as osteosarcoma, also affect bones and require prompt diagnosis for the best prognosis.
Tumblr media
Injury or Trauma
Injuries and trauma are the most obvious causes of limping in dogs. From car accidents to sports injuries, our dogs are exposed to almost as many types of injuries as we are. Broken bones, fractures, sprains, dislocations, ligament tears, joint trauma, and spinal injuries can all cause moderate to severe limping, and in some cases the dog may not be able to put weight on the affected leg at all. Proper conditioning can help reduce the risk of some sports injuries, but a limping canine athlete should be given plenty of rest until the cause of the limp is identified and treated.
If your dog becomes acutely lame (especially if he’s a puppy), wait for about 15 minutes and try to keep your pup quiet and still. They are like children and will likely yelp and cry for about five minutes. You may find them acting perfectly normal after that time and save yourself a trip to the emergency room.
If, however, they are still lame or non-weight bearing after 15 minutes, you should have them be seen by their veterinarian.
Diagnosing a Limping Dog
Sometimes the cause of your dog’s limp is clear, like a broken bone or a piece of glass in a paw pad. Other times, the cause is a little more elusive.
Your veterinarian may have to run some tests to determine the cause of your dog’s limp. Radiographs can help identify a broken bone, joint disease, and other skeletal abnormalities. Biopsies and joint fluid collection can help identify cancer and other possible causes, and blood testing for infectious diseases like Lyme or immune-related diseases may also be necessary.
Prior to testing, your veterinarian will perform a physical examination of your dog to test for tenderness, pain, and range of motion in his limbs. You can also do your own examination at home before you call the veterinarian. However, without proper training, testing the range of motion and manipulating your dog’s leg is a bad idea and could injure your dog further. You can gently run your hand down your dog’s leg and paw to check for swelling, heat, and to determine where your dog is tender. This information can help your veterinarian determine whether or not your dog can wait for an opening or if he needs to come in on an emergency basis.
Tumblr media
Treating a Limping Dog
The treatment for your dog’s lameness will vary depending on the cause. Your dog’s treatment plan could be as simple as a few days of rest, or it could entail surgery, further testing, and a prolonged recovery. While this may sound intimidating, in most cases the sooner you get your dog in to see the veterinarian, the better the prognosis.
While you are waiting for your appointment, try to keep your dog as calm as possible and abstain from exercise or play to avoid making the limp worse, and if necessary, crate your dog in the car to prevent further injury.
For further questions about your dog’s limp, contact your veterinarian and schedule an appointment.
Note: Never give any over-the-counter or prescription human pain medication—including ibuprofen or acetaminophen—to dogs as this can be toxic or fatal. Always consult your veterinarian.

Hello firends, I really need you guys to help me spread the word through reposting this link: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8ep0jyTa1K
You see, my puppy has a broken leg, as well as her diagnosis of Panosteitis. It took many Vet visits to reach this conclusion finally, including bloodworks as well as multiple Xrays and specialists. The final Verdict is that her leg must be reset by rebreaking her leg. She is a bit fragile due to her Panosteitis though, so in the end, her Vet Bill is over $2400... And for someone like me, a disabled person on a very low fixed income, it's just too high for me to pay. But I LOVE this puppy so very much, so I decided to start a fund raiser for her. Once the bill is paid, they will finally reset the bone. And we would do anything to see our Happy little girl walk again!!!!
Now, there are incentives for people to donate too!! Every Dollar you give is purchasing a raffle ticket towards winning art from me!!! I don't claim to be the best artist out there, but I can do a pretty decent to high quality piece for the winners!!
Check the link for more information on how to win!!! And please repost, reblog, and put through your different social medias. She is just too precious, and we need your help to make her walk and play again!!!
