Gastritis…help..need support

Basenji Health Issues & Questions

    @Duke:

    Curious - when you say "eaten something nasty", do you mean somthing dead? Lately, due to the acorn droppings, (tree litter, as I call it) the squirrels are in high gear - so are my kids, Duke & Daisy. I'd hate to think they are going to get a disease munching on a dead squirrel. Anyone with experience upon squirrel consuption? (either fresh killed or hidden for later?) I know - totally gross, but I'm the keeper - looking out for their best . . . The difference would only keep me more awake in the mornings!

    I don't know what gastritis is, exactlly . . . symptoms? My prayers are there for Juma for complete wellness. Healing vibes for all in this active time of year.

    Gastritis is vomiting, no appetite, not drinking, fever, etc… it is inflamation of the GI tract...

    Thanks everyone!!!! Little girl Juma is being cared for 24/7 at the fantastic local Seattle vet hospital. They are very optimistic that the antibiotics, IV…etc are going to help her recover in the next couple of days. Here's hoping for a better day tomorrow. Thanks so much for well wishes and prayers!!!! They work!

    I would have them run an ultra sound on her { NOT a x ray } to check her intestines a xray won't show if it is perforated and if it is she needs surgery ASAP I am hoping it is just something that is going to get better for her sake but honestly i would have her scanned just to make sure also what color is her urine it will be normal color now cuz they have her on a IV but if it is like a little yellow brown at all i would seroiusly get her in ASAP I had a issue with my last B like that and the vet thought it was just gas but it ended up not being believe it or not it was Ipsid a desiese {basically like the human disese chrones } very very rare now but it is still out there unfortunately i don't mean to scare u just saying rather be safe then sorry

    IPSID is not as rare as you think…. if you go to www.basenji.org you can find it on the list of Basenji health concerns.

    Sorry to hear about your baby! I hope they checked the liver enzymes when they did the bloodwork too. My B had similar symptoms when they diagnosed his liver disease.

    Best wishes for a quick recovery for Juma. Sounds like she is in the best place to help her recover.

    The other thing that came to mind is called the "Dog show Crud'. Actually many times it turns out to be Camphylo Bacter (geez I didn't spell in right) It is highly contageous from humansto dogs and back. AND dogs are still carriers unless they've been on a course of Antibiotics. For whatever reason vets don't seem to catch this one.

    Syptoms sound about the same - don't eat, vomit, loose, very loose and bloddy stools, lethargic. etc.

    It's good that she's on antibiotics. When you start feeding her again - add some yougurt or something bland to help her tummy.

    Good luck - and keep us posted.

    I remember reading about how many people get campylobacter food poisoning from eating things like hot dogs and lunch meat.

    @nick4 Sounds like an allergy or something biting him. For sure the vets and see what they say. Benadryl for sure, as far as I know it does no harm if you dose correctly.

    Patty, I can't see why not. It shouldn't be given every day, but now and then. And it should NOT be replaced with their regular food. Eggs have lots of good protein, and it's also a good source for riboflavin, B12 and phosphorus, and even selenium. I've seen only a few dog food brands with riboflavin in it, and I believe it's an important deal for dogs, as well for us humans.

    Hi Sharon Could you try a different dog food? How 'bout some plain non-fat yogurt? I remember giving my Einstein a cooked beef bone (the round ones, shank??) with the marrow in the center…...oh , my poor boy cried......the marrow made it very painful for him to go. I had to limit how much he ate. It was a special treat for him, so he didn't get them often.....that helps the anal glands for sure. Just a couple ideas. Need daily "poop reports" :) Pam "PJ" p.s. you're lucky you can find pumpkin!!!

    @tanza: Hmm…. I would "bet not".....gggg;) And you'd win! This morning, Magnum followed me down to the laundry room where I had put some painted-up towels I used last night to get off a lot of the paint when it first happened. Luckily, I was able to grab them up just as he got into position to throw himself down and roll on them. (I trashed them after getting them as clean as I could.) He just loves rolling in stuff that's smelly, whether it's a good smell or a bad smell! He may have learned a lesson, but it's obviously not one that's gonna stop him from rolling in smelly stuff! He seems to be okay even after getting several licks of paint in, no tummy problems, his usual laid-back self. Eating and drinking well.

    @wizard: While cruising the new posts I came across this one and can't really offer any help (even if I am a biologist). However, I just had to say it made my head spin and my eyes cross :D (I remember now, that's why I had a hard time in genetics class!). haha ya i was like that at first. then i got into it a little more. maybe this other forum can help you, it helped me alot! :) we are actually still going at it! http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?t=8751&goto=newpost

    Phoenix has had a rash like that before i went to the vet I figured a yeast infection is a yeast infection right weather in people or pets so i went and bought some "womans yeast infection meds" those bullet shaped things and just took it out of the wrapper and just rubbed it on his tummy alittle i rubbed it in and made sure he didnt lick at it the next morning the rash was just about gone went to the vet and she said that's what he had and to acaully just use what i did for a day or so and it should be gone it was a surface yeast infection and so as long as i just rubbed that stuff on like it was lotion he would be fine i applaied it 2 more times and it was gone he gets them from time to time and thats all i do it's a alot cheaper in the long run the stuff she said she was going to give me was going to cost me $67. plus the cost of the vet so i figured now i will just save the moeny and go spend 8 :) i would think there might be a problem using that if u have a dog that likes to try and lick it but phoenix could care less he just enjoyed his belly rub while i was rubbing it in :)
