Yes, Spencer is much better now, but he is still very thin. He lost six pounds. Even strong antibiotics cannot fight a severe abscess. I'm sure your vet found and resolved the problem under anesthesia, so that should put Egyn over the hump. SubQs and a few weeks of antiobiotics will hopefully get him back on the road to health. I had to feed Spencer critical care dog food through a syringe for several days after the surgery, then make him special soft food– the aforementioned meatballs-- for weeks after that. Good luck to you-- and positive thoughts to Egyn!
Extreme GI issues? Lymphocytic-Plasmacytic Enterocolitis? Crohns in Basenjis?

Sadly I got the bad news today. My B Boy has lymphoma of the GI tract - T cells, the worst to have. Vet thinks he will be with me one to two months and he already may have "used up" one while we were diagnosing him. The best now is palliative care. I am heartbroken, poor guy. Not fair to a truly sweet boy.

I am very sorry to hear this. It's never easy to learn bad news. Thank you for giving this boy a chance, and I hope you manage to have some good days for the time you have left.

So sorry to hear, that's heartbreaking news. Putting myself in your shoes I just can't imagine. Make these days count and make them memorable. Wishing you both the best

How heartbreaking. You must be a very special sort of person and I'm so glad this little basenji found you so that his last little bit of his short life is filled with people who love and care for him. peace.

I wanted to let everyone know that I helped my boy cross over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. My heart is broken but I know my sweet Gombo is not suffering. I miss him already. Thanks for your support and words of kindness.

So sorry for your loss….

I am very sad to hear about your loss.

I am so sorry. I was hoping you would have more time together.

I agree, but thank you for giving him a special place and sending him over the rainbow bridge to be free of paid and sickness

I am so sorry for your loss. I had a little girl die in a tragic accident a year ago
I am so sorry for your loss. Run free, little Gombo…

Sorry for your loss, always harder when they are taken too early and we aren't prepared to let them go.
