Thanks for posting here Kim! As I mentioned, I hope our Greyhound members and others will have some ideas. Meanwhile I’m wondering, how is her fur right now? Has it grown back? I’m thinking she might be less inclined to pressure sores once her fur is in? Also, have you tried any boxer shorts on her?

Kerren thank you for remembering that one! I completely spaced and forgot about that part. Yer the best!

I have no expertise with dogs and pressure sores but wanted to mention on the rehab webinar the vet said that during recovery it's important to reposition the pet often so it doesn't get sores. I think he also mentioned a good bed, such as a Big Barker Bed , was really important. These beds are orthopedic beds designed to protect joints from pressure sores. I understand they are quite expensive. If you are lucky maybe someone has one they don't need anymore.

I also recall that Teresa had an elbow pad made for her great dane Eurydice.

All the best,

Kerren

  

Thank you all for your quick posts and suggestions.  I will look into the bed and also boxer shorts (didn’t think of that one).  Cindi changes positions all the time so that does not seem to be an issue as she will lay on either hip.  And yes, the fur is slowly growing back.  We go this morning for a dressing change.  Surely appreciate this supportive community!!
