Jack & Brownies Drama….

Basenji Talk
  • SO…Dh and I put Aiden to bed and decided to shower. I had made an 8x8 dish of Betty Brownies and we had eaten about half of it (with help from guests) but hubby brought it upstairs for a late night snack and didnt close our door tight enough before we got in the shower (Jack can open our door no problem unless it clicks). When we came out, DH found the empty dish!!!:eek: "Great, Im calling the vet!!" well the vet told us to give jack 3 teaspoons of Peroxide and wait 15 minutes and it will make him throw up. So we did...poor Jacker made that "smile" face (i call it) and threw up...alot! poor guy, he kept gaging...i felt bad, We've all been there, puking is rough!! I had NO idea Peroxide worked SO well!!!
    He's all better now, sleeping LOL guess it wore him out. He'll think twice before he eats chocolate again! Its not soo good the second time around...but knowing Jack, I wouldnt bet on it....:rolleyes: All is well though, but it gave us a scare and an interesting way to finish off our lovely evening!!

  • I am glad your dog is ok, that is scary! Thats funny you mention the "smile" face, I noticed that too. One morning Tosca and I were just laying around and I fed her a piece of food. She ate it, then made this weird face, I could have sworn she was smiling. Here I thought she maybe liked her food, but sure enough, a second later she was making puking noises. So much thinking it was a genuine smile…lol!

  • I am so sorry you guys had to go through that, I would have been freaking out. Isn't having a B like having another child, you have to watch every move sometimes. haha!!!!! I am so funny about eating chocolate around Sahara, my hubby loves chocolate (not me) and when he leaves candy papers on the table beside his chair I have a fit. I mean get with it, you know Sahara is going to grab those papers, haha!!!! Anyways, I am so glad Jack is OK, poor baby. I think he deserves a good treat today!!!!

  • Poor baby! That's what he gets for stealing those brownies - LOL!
    My friend keeps a "kit" ready at all times to make her Bichon vomit. The little stinker, "Annabelle" eats chocolate any chance she gets!!

  • Poor Baby! I did not know peroxide would make them throw up. Good thing to know since our little baby also likes to get into everything! Glad he is feeling better!

    I am so glad I read this. We are having eating problems too but after reading your replies I know this issue is probably stress and hopefully will stop. Our two basenji's (3&4) have always had a pretty structured eating schedule. The boys the 4 yr old and our old elkhound have always ate together since the basenji came to us at 6 mo. The girl eats next. It has worked great for years. Our elkie went to doggy heaven this week, he was 14 and was greatly afflicted with renal and liver failure. The b's don't seem to look for him or miss him till its supper time. Our boy doesn't seem to be able to eat alone without his buddy even though we are with him. I know that a restructure of eating habits is needed and the b's will eat together now and hopefully that should resolve our issues of the moment. And as I have learned owning B's there can be alot of issues of the moment with them

    Yes, its not too early to get the trashcans locked up. However, you will only "forget" to p/u the items once. Laugh! The bad news is the dirty "items" can make the dog very sick. Running to the vet sick. The plastic alone is scary, what that can do to the internal workings of a b's tummy.

    @tanza: Things like biting behaviors.. just wanted to make a point that meds are for specific behaviors.. not a cure all Oh, I agree completely! They are definitely NOT a cure-all. IMO, drugs used for unwwanted behavior should only be used as part of a behavior modification program, especially when dealing with SA.
