The Bs destroyed a CD!

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • I get home from work and find the shredded bits of a CD all over the floor. They pulled it off the shelf and chewed it up! The edges look very sharp and I hope to god that they didn't swallow any of the pieces. Has anyone else ever had to deal with a destroyed CD?

  • EL D likes to chew up that real hard plastic used in packaging (like for batteries or bulbs or whatever) but never CDs or DVDs - and the DVDs are at his level. Can't help you out there.

  • Mine have never destroyed CDs, they prefer books :eek: but I know there have been threads that discussed CD and DVD destruction.

    So… I tried to do a search of Basenji Forums to see if I could find that thread for you. Unfortunately, CD and DVD each come up as terms too short to search. And "destroy" - well, that yields 5 pages of threads. Go figure!:rolleyes:

    Anyway, I don't think your situation is unique. ;)

  • Phoenix has gotten DVD's before he would get them out of the plastic cover and then attack the dvd he never "ate" it Just left lots pieces all over the floor for me to come in and walk on :( When phoenix gets into something he usally doesnt eat it just sheds it beyond reckonistion . So hopefully that's all yours did :)

  • Blaze ate a CD once. We took him to the vet, she laughed, then suggested we let it take it's course unless we find blood in his stool. We decided on feeding him moistened warm food, cause he scratched his esophogus (sp?) from eating the pieces, and we ended up giving him a laxative when he had difficulties pooping. He ended up all right. My brother cried over the CD. Apparently Blaze has expensive tastes. It was a signed Nirvana unplugged CD, and he ate it after the lead singer killed himself. He has never forgiven Blaze for that…

    @Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can. Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.

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

    @elbrant said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: divisive I guess I'm a dreamer.... but I believe that adults can have discussions and opinions without resorting to name calling and rude remarks. Your input is valuable. Thanks, because it's become a religion as soon as you speak against it people get so offended. The last 3 years has shown that quite clearly @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: Another friend's dog has a swollen leg at the vaccination site of his booster which is not resolving I"m sorry to hear about your friend's loss and understand the concern about the other friend's swollen leg. I had a similar experience, one of my dog's (not doodle) had a grossly swollen leg following a vet visit. The Vet told me it was cancer and I opted to let her go. Month's later I read online that it could have been the result of an allergic reaction. Please advise your friend to research possible answers before she makes a decision. Will do, a lot of the medication/vaccines cause inflammatory responses so it could just be that, it's still not nice for the dog to have that experience @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: dry food ... suffering from malnutrition omgosh! That is so scary!! I doubt the big manufacturers would ever allow a real study to see the light of day, but I would love to see one done. Just the thought makes me want to keep feeding my girl human grade foods. Yeah the same here, her research indicated that raw chicken wings were the optimal food and contain pretty much everything needed. I guess if you think of some of the processed crap they have in supermarkets trading as food for humans you can imagine how low the bar can go for pet food.

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!

    Mine have always recovered really quick I flush the bite wound if it´s a deeper one with saline or klorhexidine using a syringe twice a day if necessary.Sometimes i´ve put on an aloevera ointment or a special scar preventing cream when scab has been formed.
