Fruits & veggies/Bladder Infections

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • The BW, Nika I had used to get bladder infections and the vet attributed it to feeding too much veggies making the bladder environment too alkaline so the bacteria could flourish vs being more acidic so they couldn't. Some people said that doesn't seem right. The RW male I had got a bladder infection once when he was 13-1/2 and at the time I was giving more than the normal amount of fruits and veggies.

  • Intresting theory, we used to give our Basenji Veg with his meat, he wouldn't touch fruit.
    We never ever give our big Dog veg as he has a terrible wind problem :(

  • Sounds like it makes sense. I guess I was giving them too much. Just wonder if anybody else ran into this. Nika had too many bladder infections. Every time I saw her squatting a lot I thought "oh no not another infection". If they get a bladder infection you'll know if you see them squatting a lot. Then just get a small jar and catch some when they pee and if the urine is cloudy it's probably a bladder infection.

    Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and good "vibes." AJ is doing grat now. Stools are normal and his activity level is back. You're right…he is a special boy. He did drink lots of water after this little episode, but that's tapering off too. Thanks again, y'all. :)

    I would suggest putting some A&D Ointment on it. Medjai had a problem with a rash type thing between his legs for over a year before I tried A&D and now it's gone. I've had him on good food, and tried different things from the vet and nothing worked until now.

    Well, your precious ones only have to have a rabies booster once every 3 years! Please tell all your friends in Wichita about the ordinance change – the newspaper buried the announcement in other animal-related information, I'm sure many pet owners in the city don't have a clue that they no longer have to booster every year.

    They perscribed Batril for Caesar when he had a UTI and it fixed it up right away. What brand food are you using?
