Diarrhea in the Kennel

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Our 1.5 year old Basenji, Meeko, has been kennel trained since the day we got him. Recently, we have been coming home to massive poo explosions after an 8 hour day at work. He's done it 3 times in the past month or so and has gotten a clean/negative stool sample result from the vet. We haven't changed his food, nor has he been eating any people food. He isn't getting into things he's not supposed to since he is in his crate. Anyone else having weird bowel issues? Thoughts on what could be causing this?

    went to the vet today. he said i caught it early. he didnt hear anything in his lungs, but his glands were enlarged. he gave him a cough supressant and antibiotics. after putting a humidifier in my room, its really helped his nighttime coughing fits. so he has another apt in a couple weeks. just going to give him lots of rest and his meds. he will be good as new. doc said he's in great shape for his age. could use a teeth cleaning tho! haha

    I totally agreee with Pat - the vet should know what's going on. Also the fact that the diarrhoea is black is a cause for concern, in my opinion.

    @AJs: Wow. I guess AJ has a cast-iron stomach. He only gets loose when he gets ahold of something off the ground. Or if I mistakenly feed him pork. He eats Pinnacle with a little gravy or occasionally a raw egg. Hope your girl feels better soon. Not unusual for the girls to go off a bit when they are coming in season… least not in my experience But to answer Petra's question, I have not seen that it would really be an indication

    I am so glad I happened on this thread! We are leaving for an extended trip and the idea of the baby rice cereal and meats is a wonderful suggestion - I am right now in the process of trying to get my girl over a diahrrea problem - have been making the hamburg/rice/cottage cheese up, but as was said, on the road that will be a problem. This Forum is a great place for help, and thanks, guys/girls.
