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?

I haven't had any experience either so googled it and got this

The success rate of TPLO surgery is extremely high, with as great as 90 percent of dogs who undergo TPLO surgery returning to normal or almost normal function. Because of the high degree of success, it has become the treatment of choice in large-breed and/or athletic dogs.

So @DonC has the right of it - talk to people with larger dogs. Not sure that I would class Poms as 'athletic' though !!!

I would never take a chance with heart worm... I use NuHeart that is just for heart worm... small pill once a month... we do not have issues with heart worm in NoCal but I do not take a chance. I use it year round. In the area that there is frost/frozen for the winter you can use it just in the spring/summer/fall months.
For fleas/ticks I use frontline but only when I see fleas... again in NoCal not too much of an issue.. I need to use it maybe about twice a year and only when need or if I am traveling with the pups.

@lawrence-chow said in Puppy dry heaving?:

Replying late but our B had this problem for quite a while. It's called bilious vomiting syndrome. Usually the vomit is yellow foam in the morning when they have an empty stomach. Our vet suggested feeding 3 meals through the day with the last meal as late in the evening as possible and then the moment they wake up, feed them right away, even just a spoonful is good. Our B had this issue on and off for a good 4 months before it eventually going away, the feeding very first thing in the morning seemed to help. She's 9 months now and it still happens occassionally, the last time was when we forgot to feed her dinner the night before. She's otherwise totally healthy.

Sadly this was a totally different issue at the time. It was dry and repetitive even post-feeding. Ended up being nothing which is odd but he's all good now 🙂

Nothing strange is happening here at all. Discharge over a full month can happen - but it is normally only once a year. Pyometra can hit any bitch - regardless of false or real pregnancies.

1⁄2 a potato twice a day and she isn't starving

How are you preparing the potato? I'm guessing not raw, although I enjoy a salted slice of raw potato once in a while.... are you boiling, nuking, baking... I'd consider trying this to see if I can shed some of doodles extra weight.
