Cairo - Drug Dog

Basenji Talk
  • MantisM

    Well we have some friends visiting us that were packing to leave this morning. As they were showering Cairo decided to investigate their luggage and search for drugs.

    He found a toothpaste shaped tube of Benedryl that is some type of pain relief or itch relief salve for muscles and proceeded to puncture it in a million places. When we looked at it and squeezed it it looked like that playdoh toy that grows hair.

    So, I suppose it is possible that he swallowed some of the salve. He did a fake throw up about 15 minutes later. Now he is sitting in my lap with me at work.

    Caesar and Cairo….the boys

    I don't think drug sniffer should be his job. Let him know he's not allowed to eat what he finds. As for the play doh look-a-like tube, maybe he should market that. Liver flavor, not Benedryl…of course. Hope he's ok !

    Well it is 11am now and he was inspecting the goods around 8am. I suppose he is fine. Just took a nap in my lap.

    Lillie did the same the other day. It was a tube of bacitracin ointment. No ointment came out, just a punctured tube and a chewed up lid.:D

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    @tanza: Got ya…. and how nice of her to sit up and puke!!! :eek: I am lucky (knock on wood) all mine ride great... crate pads keep them from sliding around and they just sleep anyway.... Sure makes clean-up easier! I used to keep wipes in the car to clean her, esp. before shows! ew. I just layer plastic bags in the trash can, and tie 'em off as used, then toss when we get to where there's an outside trash can. I'd make video to show, but really, that'd be gross :eek: She's really good in her harness, so it works out quite well. As I said, Keoki continues to be my car challenge in terms of how to best travel with him. But he loves going in the car in general.

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs

    Yes I agree Pat, Fort Funston could get very crowded and dangerous for smaller dogs as packs of bigger dogs playing could cause injury. My 2 Basenjis were very good and stayed pretty close to me and got used to the crowds. The only problem I had there was with this lady who had an older Tri color female Basenji. It would bite my blk/wht, Nika who was 1-1/2 on the butt. A few times of that and I stayed way away from her. The problem is Nika was a very playful girl and never did anything like that. A few times of getting nipped on the butt started her doing it to other dogs and Basenjis. A Basenji would want to play and Nika would chase and give a nip and the the other dog would get mad and a fight would occur. Nobody would ever get hurt thankfully. It was rare that it would happen as I took them there for 9 years, mostly on the weekend without problem. We had a lot of fun and people loved the Basenjis! Ringo, the red/wht was a very entertaining clown when we'd go down to the beach.

    Yes, the tape works great, but I think I know what rubber brush you mean. My sister has a broom like that - she got it at an Equine Affair in MA one year. It works great. Gets all the hair up when she sweeps. She's got a black Aussie/Golden mix - can you say HAIR??!!! I don't think I could handle it…LOL!
