When you look at the athletic build of the fabulous Greyhound, you would never think that they had a serious health problem. No they don't have hip dysplasia like other dog breeds, nor do they have a problem with needing belly fat removal from being overweight. The problem they have is a loose intestine. Their intestine can become twisted much like a horse's intestine can. It can flip over and cut off the flow of digestion. If not treated right away the dog will die within days. Discomfort is the first signs of the problem followed by lack of poop. Surgery is the only cure for a twisted intestine. Most other dog breeds do not have this problem.
