  • Spencer Had a Stroke– a Bad One
    avdpierreA avdpierre

    I too do not have seizure experience with dogs, but do have experience with humans as I have been an RN for many years. One particular experience involves an offender with severe seizures. She would have stroke-like symptoms (paralysis) after her seizures that would last for several hours. One time she had a severe seizure lasting over an hour and had one-sided paralysis/balance problems that lasted for several weeks. Her complete recovery is pretty rare (in my experience). I pray for your babies complete recovery.

    FYI: wbc's and enzymes are usually high after a prolonged seizure

    Also posted on BRAT/facebook page….."These are two of the 5 given away free in Kansas....mama was bred twice, no papers or testing first. Raised outside, concrete pad/shed/full feed....I've got a lot of work ahead....got home at midnight, spent time laying on the concrete porch with them....letting them sniff/lick me until they were calm....then we took a bath, me first, then the mama while the baby licked her the whole time, then the baby, while mama licked her the whole time. Then we all fell asleep on the concrete porch for about 30 minutes. Then we all piled into my bed and died! The cat went in hiding when we first came home but then appeared in the middle of the bed during the night. The baby sniffed her a little and went back to sleep. LOVED i! I was afraid they would be aggressive but NOT! The only problem so far is they won't poop except on concrete. We walked until I was ready to drop/no poop/went in the house and baby promptly pooped on the concrete porch. Same thing this am, very long walk and no results yet. This time I crated them so no accidents. I feel like I have twin toddlers....No rest for the weary.....did not even have my coffee! " They are napping now....peace...ahhhh
    working on trying to add photos.....files too big....any suggestions?.....finally did it.....

    You won't believe it, but I was on Facebook, the BRAT page, and found a woman with a rescue who lives about 10 miles from me…her vet knows B's well..... She says she has been the only known B owner in the region for a while. She got her rescue in February. We are going to get together and have a play date. I can hardly wait. I will definitely have them checked out BEFORE having surgery. Thank you all so much for your help. I will be sure to post pics. My life is about to get exciting! Now I just need to find names....their names are Shotgun (not a girls name) and Bella. I would really like African names. My last B was Sundiata Ngoma Kibushi. He was the best B ever!


  • House training Basenji's that have been raised outside for a year

    Thanks so much for the advise, all excellent. Are there any suggestions you have for dealing with 'chewing everything', other than close observation and replacing the object being chewed with an acceptable chew toy. The owner says chewing everything is the only bad behavior they have (which is pretty bad). I know with my puppies I was able to replace the chewed object with a toy and they got the message pretty quick.

    That's what I will be doing for the next 3 days! This adoption is happening sooner than I thought it would, but I am beyond excited and determined to give them my best. I'm getting 2 of the 5 B's posted on Craigslist, Eureka, KS


  • House training Basenji's that have been raised outside for a year
    avdpierreA avdpierre

    I am adopting 2 female B's that are at least one year old and have been raised/lived outside in fenced yard. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good start at house training. I will be crate training for 'away' times until I know I can trust them to be alone/loose in the house. I don't want to leave them outside until I'm able to supervise and trust them to not climb the fence. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Angela.

    P.S. I work 8 hr shifts, 4 days a week. I hope to have them sleep with me in bed at night.

    @giza1:

    Did you get a response yet? I did. She still has the brindle, that's the one I asked about. I think you'll get a response.

    I just got off the phone with her…I will be picking up two females on Thursday...I'm so excited! She has kept the males/females separate and the girls get along well.

    According to the time stamp, the photo was taken in 2010. I just sent an email to the owner…..I used to have 4 B's many years ago and have been looking for 2. I live in Hannibal MO...about 350 miles away from the owner....hope to hear something soon
