Going in the middle of the night?

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • ZenGrrrlZ

    This has happened twice in the last week:

    • Ziggy got up in the middle of the night to do the "poop dance". I knew that he had to either pee or poop, and he peed a great quantity on the bathroom floor.
    • Last night, he awoke in the middle of the night and had to pee (a lot) and also pooped.

    Nothing else in his diet, habits, or daily routine has changed, and I'm worried but not panicking; I'll monitor him for a few days and see if it happens again. About 2 weeks ago, his test strip for Fanconi was negative.

    Has anyone else had this experience, of a dog who out of the blue has to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night?

    To make sure, 1st be sure that your test strips are current and valid… then also I would recommend that you test 4 or 5 days in a row and maybe 2x's a day just to be sure.

    Could also be UTI, but urine culture would be needed to validate that...

    I would be concerned about "peeing" great quantity .... and think that maybe a trip to the Vet is in order

    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!

    In the days before computers, I kept a book (now its all carefully entered in to special folders on the 'machine' and provides me with a complete history) - total sickness record, including jabs and innoculations (and cost of pills / treatment), of each dog. Weight at birth of puppies, ease of whelping. Onset of seasons, boys starting to react (chuddering and showing interest), date relative to onset of color of the first time the girl's tail went over. Just about every aspect of each dog is carefully logged and catalogued.

    I decided not to use the plaque off..I have been brushing more but not everyday as I will going forward. I think I decided not to because last year a I expected to have his dental and sort of fix the problem that way and start good habits..then his surgery happened and really it's taken a good long while to get him back on track…I didn't want to add anything that could throw off his system.

    @Patty: It's good to hear that Nilo is now officially 'cured'. I agree with you about antibiotics but sometimes they are the only way to hit a disease.. Thank you Patty, it was a relief! :)

    And there are just some bitches that "mark" their bedding… period... My Mickii's litter sister for her entire life would mark bedding (and she didn't have Fanconi)...
