Dog with stomach ulcer

Oh poor hound!
No experience of it but wondering if perhaps he was given anti inflammatories in his racing days (Metacam) which started the damage?
I agree about these things happening at weekends (when our vets hand over to an extortionately expensive "vets for you" emergency service.
I expect the best you can do is stick to what he has been prescribed,also diet wise, and never ever go down the anti-inflammatory route if you can help it.
Grace sends commiserations

Thank you DaphneBroon and Grace. Have seen your picture Grace on Soops Kitcheners. The trouble is you just don't know what they have had or what has been done to them. We will take things very slowly and carefully, we don't want a repeat

Oh they ARE beautiful!!
Sadly I don't think racing hounds get much of a life at all. They are often treated very roughly and considering the huge amounts of money some punters get from the betting, very little seems to go back into the sport or the dogs' welfare. A very few trainers really seem to love their dogs which they damn well ought to as they will run their little hearts out for them. Others treat them like objects to be chucked when they are of no further use - oh I'd better not get started!
Which is the poorly one?
Give him an extra hug from this hound daft idiot!

A lot of racehorses suffer from gastric ulcers also . Hattie sends her love....

Love to Hattie from Sophie the white one and Harry the black one. He is the one that has been so poorly. Our vet was saying Tegan about racehorses suffering from gastric ulcers. He called them "stress" ulcers because horses and greyhounds put so much effort into racing. Not much of a life is it after you do the best you can to earn your owner money and then they dump you.

I was very pleased to see an ex racehorse competing in the eventing in Rio!

That figures millymouge(stress) but I also think many trainers were not above pumping them full of anti inflammatories to counteract the aches and pains. And given that hounds always raced on an empty stomach.....
I have videos of out previous grey running her heart out for some important cup race not long before she was retired. Her trainer at the time and owners (a syndicate) did love her though and after they rehomed her with me always took an interest in her welfare.

Going off at a total tangent here, but met a lovely dog this morning whilst taking Hattie down the lane. He was a Rumanian rescue dog; some sort of sheepdog [but looked a bit corgi like]. Although he has lots of medical problems he's found his forever home. Wants to be friends with other dogs but then gets scared because, I assume, of his unknown history. But, with Hattie being so sweet natured they had a little sniff of each other and he didn't panic too much. I'm really taken with him.
