Medicine storage

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • red and white fureverR

    One problem I've faced with Stormie's Fanconi is the amount of meds he takes everyday and trying to keep them organized so I'm not counting pills twice a day. Currently, I'm sorting and counting pills once a week and putting them into Day Of The Week (w/ AM and PM sides) pill holders. Any other suggestions or ideas for med storage/sorting any easier/convenient?

    Gee, I haven't thought that far ahead….I'd probably buy a few of those and count out a months at one time.

    Tayda has just been diagnosed with Fanconi and I went and bought one of the pill organizers and put her med in there for the week. Its only day 2 but I'm hoping it will work. I'll just put aside a few minutes each weekend to organize the meds for the week….

    @Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.

    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!

    @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

    @Ninabeana26: I use Sentinel for Dallas' heartworm meds & I give it monthly. He has only had 2 months so far but I have never noticed anything funny after giving it to him. I just place it in with his evening kibble & he's been fine every time. Sentinel is actually two medications in one. It has the active ingredient for Interceptor and the active ingredient for Program. It is supposed to protect against heartworms and fleas. If you are still having problems with fleas, I would seriously consider changing to Interceptor only so you are not giving your dog an medication that is not working and then look for a more effective flea control.
