Preferred foods…

    Kananga is not normally a Basenji that is motivated by food. I know he loves fresh cooked chicken and yogurt, but last night I had a good laugh…

    I had made some alfredo sauce w/ pasta. I went to sit down and eat it, and Kananga was staring right at me from about 2 feet away and "licking the air". I've never seen him do this before around food. He must really like the scent of this sauce. He thought he could eat it all from a couple feet away. Such a silly boy. I did give him a chance to lick the bowl after I was finished. Just for a few moments but he was happy. He gets table scraps every blue moon because he's so picky. :D

    I only do that because he's polite and doesn't try to jump up. He sits there like a good boy.

    That was sweet that you let him have a little being polite and not jumping has its rewards.

    We feed raw meat (deep frozen) and like that a lot (our 2 sisters do, too!). Some vegetables too, like broccoli, cabbage, red beet, carrot, and the like. Both cooked and raw. We only bath them when they have rolled in something stinking, like a dead bird or so. When wet or muddy, we give them a rub with an old towel - they do the rest.

    Agree with all above - you also might like to try mixing a teaspoon of sardine/tuna with a little water and spreading it over the food. Good luck!

    I was reading up a bit on fanconi and found this website that states as part of the protocol: (http://www.basenji.org/ClubDocs/fanconiprotocol2003.pdf) 2. Any good quality dry food may be fed, with the addition of at least one can per week of HIGH PROTIEN ?wet meat? mammal meat based dog food (Beef, Lamb?etc.) to replace long-chain amino acids and phosphorus. Poultry based foods have proven far less effective in management of this disorder then mammal based meats. The only exception to this high protien diet, in this protien-losing uropathy, is documented renal failure (increasing BUN/CREATININE). In this type situation, see the ?RENAL FAILURE HYBRID PROTOCOL? section later in this instruction set My dog doesn't have this but I feed Wellness Core and she loves it. I also feed senior wellness to my older chow who's a picky eater and just add a bit of wet sometimes and he gobbles it up :)

    @wizard: I forgot to mention that my previous basenji loved to eat rabbits that he caught and muskrats. (I did my best to get those away from him) Oh. ew. We have found one or two squirrel carcasses in the yard over time, but I'm not sure who's killing them. Gypsy has in her youth, but I'm not sure she has the eyesight or speed for that anymore, so it's probably one of the Basenjis. Grosses me out! I know they'd both like to make lunch out of my cats.
