Jetson Ate Dish Soap

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • TaypedT

    Hello!

    My little guy drank dish soap. I had some dish soap diluted in water to make bubbles for the neighbor kids and Jetson took it upon himself to clean up after we where finished. I'm not sure exactly how much soap was in the cup maybe a tablespoon but he has since thrown up twice and had on and off diarrhea and very soft poop since. He is acting completely normal running around the house playing. It has been 3 days since the soap. I thought he had finally gotten over it yesterday but this morning we went right back to the squirts. Any suggestions on how long this last or what I should feed him. He has never eaten anything besides his dog food until I tried to give him rice to sooth the stomach last night. That may have given him the runs this morning. I am thinking about taking him to the vet tomorrow but I wanted to ask you all first!

    Everything online says he will be okay but Basenji's are not your typical dogs!

    @elbrant said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: divisive I guess I'm a dreamer.... but I believe that adults can have discussions and opinions without resorting to name calling and rude remarks. Your input is valuable. Thanks, because it's become a religion as soon as you speak against it people get so offended. The last 3 years has shown that quite clearly @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: Another friend's dog has a swollen leg at the vaccination site of his booster which is not resolving I"m sorry to hear about your friend's loss and understand the concern about the other friend's swollen leg. I had a similar experience, one of my dog's (not doodle) had a grossly swollen leg following a vet visit. The Vet told me it was cancer and I opted to let her go. Month's later I read online that it could have been the result of an allergic reaction. Please advise your friend to research possible answers before she makes a decision. Will do, a lot of the medication/vaccines cause inflammatory responses so it could just be that, it's still not nice for the dog to have that experience @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: dry food ... suffering from malnutrition omgosh! That is so scary!! I doubt the big manufacturers would ever allow a real study to see the light of day, but I would love to see one done. Just the thought makes me want to keep feeding my girl human grade foods. Yeah the same here, her research indicated that raw chicken wings were the optimal food and contain pretty much everything needed. I guess if you think of some of the processed crap they have in supermarkets trading as food for humans you can imagine how low the bar can go for pet food.

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284

    This should be a sticky here for dog eating anything that needs to induce vomiting. It would save people $180 I spent. It's not a wait and see situation.

    @sharronhurlbut: Great nephew is visiting, Cody retreaved a poopie diaper and ate it.:eek: I induced him to barf, and got a lot of the white diaper fabric out of his stomach. Anything else I should do? Just keep an eye on him, I would think… sounds like he barfed 99% of it up.... If he stops eating or pooping... or seems to be in distress, then it would be off to the Vet. In my experience when you are able to induce barfing with in 1/2 to 1 hour of something ingested, you get all of it back out....
