Devastating news this week about a beautiful galgo puppy called Picasso, who was rescued and fostered by Bev Farmer (Podenco Friends). He was adopted by a couple in the UK who already have greyhounds so they are experienced sighthound owners.
Mischievous Picasso did what puppies frequently do, he swallowed something he shouldn’t have and was taken to the vet. The adoptants mentioned to the vet about the potential problem of greyhounds and anaesthetic – because of their slow heartbeat and lack of body fat, they should have minimal anaesthetic for as short a time as possible.
