Hi
how many ribs are you supposed to see on a healthy greyhound when standing ?
Thank you

Two . . . the last two on each side, that is. But each dog has a natural weight at which it's happiest and healthiest, so 'two ribs' is by no means a hard and fast rule, and neither is the 'visible pin bones' rule of thumb. ;D ;D

So does Lettice. Had her weighed at the vets last night and she's put on 1.5 Kilos in the 8 months she's been here  Nothing worse that a fat greyhound (apart from an underfed one lol!) so it's cut down time for my big fat heifer  |

I find my dogs tend to fill out a bit in winter and loose it in spring -then when it gets to autumn they turn into gannets again to put a bit back on |
