Cairo - Drug Dog

Basenji Talk
  • MantisM

    Well we have some friends visiting us that were packing to leave this morning. As they were showering Cairo decided to investigate their luggage and search for drugs.

    He found a toothpaste shaped tube of Benedryl that is some type of pain relief or itch relief salve for muscles and proceeded to puncture it in a million places. When we looked at it and squeezed it it looked like that playdoh toy that grows hair.

    So, I suppose it is possible that he swallowed some of the salve. He did a fake throw up about 15 minutes later. Now he is sitting in my lap with me at work.

    Caesar and Cairo….the boys

    I don't think drug sniffer should be his job. Let him know he's not allowed to eat what he finds. As for the play doh look-a-like tube, maybe he should market that. Liver flavor, not Benedryl…of course. Hope he's ok !

    Well it is 11am now and he was inspecting the goods around 8am. I suppose he is fine. Just took a nap in my lap.

    Lillie did the same the other day. It was a tube of bacitracin ointment. No ointment came out, just a punctured tube and a chewed up lid.:D

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs

    That's right I forgot about goose poop. Also flattened dead dried out birds. Mine also would eat dirt and tan bark. "What the hell was I missing in their diet" I'd ask myself. (-:

    @Vegas: We're all committed to the basenji, because the little tools have a way of capturing our hearts… I think basenji owners are a pretty tight-knit group. The ways basenjis affect our lives are so similar, it's hard to not find something in common with other basenji owners. I think this may be the "same page" Andrea was speaking of!
