    @JENGOSMonkey, @elbrant, @tanza, @Kembe, @eeeefarm, @helle-devi Thank you all for the kind words, it has not been easy but this does help. We actually got his ashes back today and the place did a fantastic job, came back with ceramic paw print and all. It will last bring final closure, he is home. @helle-devi results confirmed what was suspected, IBD, for which we had already started his medications. I think it was just his time.

    My Basenjis do eat acorns with no effect at all. I do find that mine seem to know what they can and can't eat. I suppose each generation has learned from the last. Puppies of course have to be watched (like human babies) because they'll chew anything. Incidentally when I was a child (a very,very long time ago) i too used to eat acorns, - again with no ill effects!

    @wizard: Just a heads up for folks living near urban ponds and lakes. This time of the year, hot weather and lowering lake levels often leads to algae blooms, particularly when the lakes are bordered by fertilized lawns. Most algae are the green type but some are called blue-green and have a bluish tint to them. If your dog drinks from urban lakes or ponds, be aware that some blue-green algae are toxic to dogs. Great reminder. Seems every year around here there is at least one dog lost to algae in local lakes. Awful way to lose a dog.

    yeah, I have had the same thing happen. One dose wont get rid of it. I really think it is making him snarfy as well. I will talk to my vet the next time I go in and do the Fenbendezol only from now on.
