Bleeding Diarreah

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • @luzmery928:

    thanks…can't believe she's ill....the foster mom says the vet thinks it's worms but will know more later. I worry because someone I know got a dog through BRAT and the dog ended up with a serious deadly disease. It was severe diareah, anorexia, dehydration, vomiting, etx. After 3 hard years they just put him down. Very sad!

    I would say that must be VERY rare. Sounds like the dog maybe had IPSID?

  • I do hope she's O.k. We all have our hearts set on her. I guess it could be stress. Aside from her last home, she's been moved around to 2 foster homes in 2 weeks in order to make travel easier. Plus in the first foster home the mom had just had hand surgery so it was difficult for her to care for another dog.

  • Poor little thing. I hope she's ok. Yes–bloody diarahea isn't necessarily serious--but it is awful scary. Hopefully, the odds are in her favor, and it's not anything serious. But if she has anything--it's probably best to get that cleared up before brining her home if possible.

  • yes I spoke to the coordinator and she will let me know as soon as the foster contacts her. We're praying she'll be fine. Crazy how we love her already and haven't even met her

    I know what you mean–I had my heart set on Tyler and Zoey after I saw their picture on the rescue site. Then I met them and had them checked for Fanconi before picking them up to bring them home--but I told the rescuers not to worry--that no matter what the results, I was taking them and would provide whatever care was needed. Everything has worked out just fine, and I hope things work out for you, too.

  • thanks we hope so too.

  • I saw in the other thread that you are getting your 2nd b this weekend…is it the same girl from this thread? What ended up being the diagnosis?

  • Yes it is. Her test came back negative and she is in great helath. Very playful just like my first so we will be picking her up Sunday….HOORAY!!!

  • Bet you're excited!!! Can't wait to see pics and hear about all the antics going on in your home. :)

  • Excited is not even the word. Her foster dad told me she's a nonstop playmate which is exactly perfect for our B. Alittle high maintnance and snobbish..lol…They bought her a sweater and she prances around the house looking all conceited ...too darn cute!!!

  • Woo hoo! Looking forward to hearing how it goes..and of course, seeing the pictures of the new cutie pie with her new family!

  • These dogs are like potato chips. You just can't stop at one.

    Congrats, Luzmery. Can't wait to see photos and hear the stories!

  • I remember when I first adopted Champ and all the issues and concerns I had with this "magnificant, one of a kind, crazy breed" and now here we are getting all ready for #2. They are so special plus Champ is really crazy about other dogs so we are really doing this for him.

  • Fantastic! Congratulations…can't wait to see pictures and hear how the 2 of them get on. :D

  • OH WOW!! That's great news. I can't wait to see pics of Champ's new sister :D

    Had you opened a new bag around the time this started? Sometimes they change ingredients or suppliers of ingredients, which is the way an allergen can sneak in....

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!

    So happy to hear your boy is comming home and doing well. Has to get better so he can go find another kitty again. I do know Jaycee does not like change we took the sofa out and it upset her bottom end that night better next day. Then fourth day we got new sofa and upset her that day again and now all is well. I would try putting his crate back in your room. Take care. Rita Jean

    They said that there is a overgrowth of Bacteria, which is common in some dogs. So I can either give him some yogurt or a med that they are giving me, as Medjai is a very picky eater. I just figured this would be easiest for now, but I'll try yogurt next time.
