Liver issues
-
Our sweet boy Joey is sick. He had been throwing up bile for a few days and we noticed that he was looking thinner. We made a vet appointed and a blood test was taken. He lost 1.6 kg since October. The liver values are much too high. The vet thinks he has a liver infection or could be a tumor in the liver. Joey is now on a special diet food and is on anti-biotics. Also he got the medicine prednoral.
After 6 weeks another blood test will be taken to see if the values dropped.
He is feeling nauseas by times. Saturday evening he threw up, sunday was ok, monday again throwing up. Yesterday evening he was feeling sick, but did not throw up and today looks ok.
I am very worried. Joey will be 12 years by 24th of June and we could not bear to loose him. He is very lively and wants to eat all day.
It has been a week now since he was diagnosed, we hope the medicine will work. Joey is my first dog, we got him as a rescue dog, he was almost 3 years old, so have him now for 9 years.
Anybody else who had these problems ?

These kinds of problems are not uncommon when your Basenjis start to reach their "golden" years. You might want to try him on Dr. Dodd's liver cleansing diet.

Good Suggestion Pat as I had an older B with liver issues in 2008 and that diet brought it down into normal range.
