Jetson Ate Dish Soap

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • TaypedT

    Hello!

    My little guy drank dish soap. I had some dish soap diluted in water to make bubbles for the neighbor kids and Jetson took it upon himself to clean up after we where finished. I'm not sure exactly how much soap was in the cup maybe a tablespoon but he has since thrown up twice and had on and off diarrhea and very soft poop since. He is acting completely normal running around the house playing. It has been 3 days since the soap. I thought he had finally gotten over it yesterday but this morning we went right back to the squirts. Any suggestions on how long this last or what I should feed him. He has never eaten anything besides his dog food until I tried to give him rice to sooth the stomach last night. That may have given him the runs this morning. I am thinking about taking him to the vet tomorrow but I wanted to ask you all first!

    Everything online says he will be okay but Basenji's are not your typical dogs!

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284

    @DebraDownSouth: The issue is that Dodds looks at all dogs, but breeds vary. Ask your vet about a trial of low dose. Dodds is pretty much a sighthound specialtist… So I would tend to believe what she is saying... I would retest in 3 months and see if the Free T3 is still at the same level.

    @sharronhurlbut: Great nephew is visiting, Cody retreaved a poopie diaper and ate it.:eek: I induced him to barf, and got a lot of the white diaper fabric out of his stomach. Anything else I should do? Just keep an eye on him, I would think… sounds like he barfed 99% of it up.... If he stops eating or pooping... or seems to be in distress, then it would be off to the Vet. In my experience when you are able to induce barfing with in 1/2 to 1 hour of something ingested, you get all of it back out....
