Feed him a diet of high quality feed. There are MANY crappy foods out there. I feed Royal Canin Sensible Choice, but Wellness and Innova are very good as well. Your Hound pup should be getting 26-30% protein.
Why didn't your Vet suggest Vitamins if he thinks he is calcium deficient?
You can add some egg, yoghurt, goats milk, or cottage cheese to his food once a day. I wouldn't do it every day for a long period of time or you are likely to upset his ability to regulate his own calcium levels, but I do this a couple times a week for a treat.
My Whippet pups have always done well on this.

i may be careful to look at if the Greyhound is tolerant of little or no ones.With the suitable will interior the international infants might reason an animal harm via basically grabbing them and the animal might resent this and ought to harm the youngster. in spite of the shown fact that,a Greyhounds are a people loving creature and extremely lazy.2 good twenty minute walks and then "resties" is the order of the day! i does not positioned a muzzel on the hound because it then can't take care of it quite is self if attacked via yet another canines.

Well your hound dog isn't in danger that for sure but u may want to get a custom made brace for your dog.No this is not a Heredity just watch what your dog does and my be there is something that he is doing that changes the bone in his/her leg/legs.But if your dog is shivering you may want to consult a veterinarian because the dog at a very Young age can have Arthritis.
i hope my information helps you,and i hope your do isn't in any serious pain.
