    this morning we woke up and ramses my 3 year old tri color has allergy bumps all over his body!! we have not fed him any chicken (which he is allergic to) or anything strange lately so we do not know why this is happening? could it be from the thanksgiving turkey 3 nights ago? i dont think so.. we recently bought him a wool sweater are are placing the sweater as suspect #1, then we recently switched to a different laundry detergent… suspect #2. other than that i cant figure out what it could be. tommorrow we will go to the vet to get some steroids to help. i gave him some benadryl but looks like the allergies are winning. please help!

    can you wash him with just water to get rid of possible irritating things on this body? And of course go and join the vet asap

    @RamsesOchoa:

    He just threw up and it was just a few minutes after giving the benedryl..it was the yellow bile..

    Yellow bile usually indicates "empty tummy"… and your note is a bit confusing as you say that he was doing better with the benedryl, but now you are saying that he vomited just after giving it? Takes at least 30 to 45 minutes to get into the system?

    I think I would opt for the Vet

    wow, this gave me flashbacks to Gizmos reaction.

    Is he itching? If so I highly suggest Epi-soothe Medicated Shampoo. Really helped Gizmo.

    I would go and see the vet asap. And if you wash him I would first try pure water, no shampoo. If he has a contact allergic reaction, you need to get off whatever it is off his body. This would be done by clear water…..

    Vomit yellow liquid with little foam seems to be "empty stomach" to me. Sh*** like this always happens on a weekend!

    Fingers are crossed!

    So, I've talked with Oakleys breeders and met for play date with some of their pups…things went really well, Oakley took really well to the other pups with me around, so much so I really didnt exist. One pup just clicked and fit perfectly, she would be the perfect temperament and disposition to compliment Oakley and our life...so I'm really glad I got to see what works and what doesn't...one female pup and him just couldn't click the whole time, tensions and such...the dog I originally fell for is a retired female and we tried that as well, didn't go as well- I think Oakley is too abrasive for older females to tolerate...he's a big puppy and acts like it. That cemented for me that a pup really has the best chance of working out. I learned a lot about basenji interaction and behavior, possible issues to be aware of and really just more about Oakley.. It was a very insightful visit and I feel more confident that Oakley will accept the right dog into our home, the decision is really up to me now to see if I can part with Oakley and I being two peas in a pod....still a little worried about having two and not yet having gone through the "having children" phase...the thought of eventually being pregnant with two seems more daunting than one...perhaps some insight into that would be helpful!

    Fostering might get you in to the reality of owning a b. I think going to BRAT and asking to foster would be the way to go. If you like the dog you foster, you can always adopt it.
