Senior boy needs a new home

Basenji Rescue

  • Pat,
    Yes,I think that his leaking might have been a reason that his owner didn't want him anymore.That and he is on meds for seizures.I haven't test stripped him yet but his father is affected,don't know about mom.He doesn't drink to much and he only leaks at night.

    A male wrap is like a diaper for a male dog,it just goes around there waist with a pad inside.They're great for keeping males dry.

  • Thanks Kathryn, i wish we'd known about the wraps when we had Benji, he used to leak when he slept. Coincidently he has seizures as well.


  • I am so pleased that Quinn has found a lovely home, you are a special person to take him on.


  • Kathryn - I adopted a senior basenji girl once. She was hiding in a schoolyard near here, bit the dog catcher, then was put on death row. BRAT called me and I adopted her. She was so distraught, but I nursed and loved her back to health, and she gave me 3 great years of joy to my life. No one had ever loved me that much before. You have done a wonderful thing.


  • Just found this thread. First page made me cry, subsequent pages also made me cry, for a completely different reason.
    Gotta love the happy ending!! Way to go Kathryn!!


  • Update on Quinn

    Please pray for Quinn as I now find out that he has a very serious case of Lymes disease.He is not a happy camper and I'm trying really hard to make him comfortable.He has trouble walking as his wrist joints are so swollen.Have him on high dose antibiotics and arnica for pain.
    I fear that his time with me is short,but I can only hope that the time he has had with me was more then he got from his last owner.
    I now know why he was discarded.

    I'm so sorry Kathryn to hear this. Did he just get it?

  • Houston

    I am so sorry to hear about Quinn and his ill health. i will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.


  • Dearest Kathryn,
    I am sad to hear the news. That is so heartbreaking. I will pray for you both. When and how do you think he got Lymes disease. I'm so sad for you both. Maxie


  • What bad news, sending postive thoughts for Quinn


  • Kathryn, go to www.lymediseaseresource.com
    Colloidal Silver A Safe Treatment For Lyme Disease.
    Get this at health food store.
    Need one in Glass and no more than 10 ppm and glass dropper.
    Plastic no good only glass.
    Will not hurt him or what he is already on.
    I do so hope he gets better. Take care.

  • Geez, poor Quinn. It's been one thing after another for the poor guy. Kathyrn, you're doing all you can. Thank you for that. As you stated, he may not have much longer, but in the short time you've had him back, I'm sure he has had a lifetime of love. Prayers to you and Quinn.


  • I think he has had it for a really long time and never was treated .

    Kathryn


  • how awful for poor Quin. To be discarded when he needs his family the most. Jaroufa - you're a good and dedicated to find the source of his problem. What's his prognosis?


  • Hugs to you for helping this old dear b boy…a special place in hell for the folks who dumped a senior dog... I just don't understand that type of thinking...but they are teaching their children to do the same to them, when they get old and have issues.
    Keep us posted on him.
    Hugs my unmet friend.

  • First Basenji's

    Oh no! Poor Quinn. The past few months have been rocky for him. You really are an amazing person for all you have done and continue to do for him. I'm sure he knows that he is loved now. Sending happy thoughts and hugs to both of you!

    @lisatest: What do you all think about getting a dog micro chipped? Last night I caved and let her sleep in her bed on our bed. Amazingly no whining. I believe Mia won on this battle. :) She is very precious and she puts a smile on my face every single day. I got my boy microchipped when he was neutered. It didn't cost much extra & I like the extra sense of security I have now. Although, as Tanza said, they do wander. Dallas' started out on his shoulder blade & now is more in his front thigh. If that makes sense. The vet said it is not an issue now but if it keeps moving towards his chest, she will have to remove it & replace it in a better spot. However, it is still completely worth it. Welcome to basenji ownership 101. They are so darn persistant when they want something. Dallas sleeps in my bed & is quite the bed hog! Also, he must sleep under the covers now! Once you give in, there is no going back. Haha. So glad it worked out so well for you & that she makes you so happy. I look forward to seeing more pictures of her!

    I am so glad Foxy and Cami have such a good and loving home. The whole thing was so awful, though their former owner must miss them terribly, knowing they are loved and safe now surely be a huge comfort. Hooray for you, for rescuing 2 good girls. Anne in Tampa
