Thanks MOM - boring boiled rice and chicken

    Ok, it was just a thought. He is such a well socialized boy, just thinking the meds might have been the issue. Hopefully, this will be over quickly. Hugs to you all.

    Good news! Kipawa's seems to be back to normal - solid poops on his walk this afternoon. Hooray.

    However, with the reason probably being anxiety/over stimulation, I still need to work with him on this. I am going to contact my vet and ask if I can bring him there daily, let them take him into the back and bring him out quickly, then increase the time he is in the back. They are only about 4 - 5 minutes away by car, so this will be very manageable.

    Hmmmmm…. just thought of something. Could doing this make Kipawa not want to go into the car (because the car always takes him to THAT place)? I guess the solution for that, if it happens, is to take him to his favourite parks each day.

    What do you all think?

    Sure, take him to petsmart and give him a cookie, take him to the park, etc. Only good things…

    @tanza:

    Stress can cause loose stools, but I would have to guess that he has a bit of a tummy upset, then add some stress on top of that.

    Good to keep him on the boiled rice and chicken a few days. And because it has little to no fat, cuts way down on the bowels overworking

    Thanks Pat and Debra - I'm sticking to boiled rice w/chicken for another day or so, then as suggested, will add back his TOTW Bison kibble slowly. Then will slowly add back the veggies he gets with his kibble. Even though the problem was not due to 'bug critters' or an infection, his stomach still did experience a trauma. Best to play it safe.

    My guy knows what direction the veterinarian's office is in…...and gets upset if we go that way, even after he hasn't been there for a year! OTOH, he also knows which way the regional forest is, and gets excited (definitely a different emotion!) when we head in that direction. He must have a compass in his head! :)

    When I have to take those of mine that are phased by vet visits I also make sure I include an interesting walk near the surgery. In that way they know that the visit is just a stop on the way to the walk.

    PS. Good to know Kipawa is recovered again.

    @Kipawa:

    … Kipawa FIRED some diarrhea across the examining room floor. Darn, had I have been thinking I would have kept a little of it to be tested.

    My, what colorful descriptions. And only a dog mother could follow something up like that with a thought like 'Hmm, maybe I should've held onto some of it!' ;)

    Bowpi's poops get runny super quickly when we have to go to the vet. Sensitive stool, I guess. Stress definitely has something to do with it, though she's good enough to hold it until appropriate spots.

    What's stranger is I am now carrying a tiny spoon and zip lock bag in my purse. Like the boy scout motto, 'be prepared'.

    Oh what a great idea! I'll definitely use this. Thanks! :)

    She is so bored. How do you keep them entertained?

    My 7 month B is kinda the same way. Especially strong hunting instinct and bored easily. I’ve found a laser pointer does wonders for the hunting and boredom! Even the next morning he goes into his play room and spend several minutes trying to find the red dot. I’ve also found his favorite toy is always ones other dogs/humans have so I lock his toys inside his crate with him out of it. Then I also play with them myself. Only after a few days does he get one of the toys. He then ends up hiding it so I can’t lock it up.

    sinbaje, this is why I appealed to the forum. I knew there'd be several smarter and/or more knowledgable people able to help me. The whole genetics thing is still way over my head, so I hadn't thought that Lola's mom COULDN'T be behind Booger (although yodeldogs may have explained this to me a dozen times and it didn't sink in yet)… Lola's mom was brindle I think. I know I was shown a picture of a brindle that was one of her parents anyway. The breeder's name is Carrie from what I remember. Her son's name is Destin Brown, and that's what her dogs are currently registered under (or Booger's & Lola's litters were anyway). She lived in Calhoun, GA (for all I know she's still there, but it seems she sold all of her basenjis after I explained Fanconi to her), and I know her sister helped her raise litters at her own house as well, so her sister might be named Tammy.

    problem with using a hot wire is that we have already tried that at the base of the pen when she was digging out and that never stopped her…we have also seen her hit the hot wire used in the cow pen at the trailer and that didn't phase her. Each time she has hit the wires nd kept going our first reaction us to check the wires and every time they have indeed been on and "HOT." We are working to secure the base of the pen as well as creating a cover to keep rain and provide shade while allowing a breeze and ventilation for the pen. In the meantime she is either in a borrowed kennel in the yerd directly beside the house that i can see from my room, in the house with me, or in the crate.

    I have been looking for one in our area as well. Even if just for a couple hours when the weather is poopy. Living in Ohio or weather is 98% crap and 2% raining. I would love to start my own day care here. It would be so much fun to play with the dogs all day!
