Hello again..I will check with my vet ..But I need to clarify something .I just noticed that I put my dog's age as 10 ..He is really 12..I should read things over before sending..I apologize..

Thank you for your replies..Yes there is possible nerve damage of the leg..Right now it is splinted and as I said he is on cortisone..Hoping this works as I have spent over $700.00 on him in the last month.. When he fell it was on a Saturday evening and I had to take him to the emergency animal hospital which isn't cheap..I am 77 yrs old and my income is not bottomless..Seeing a specialist may not be in the cards..The splint was put on this past monday..My vet said to give it 2 weeks and then we will see ..He has had the diarrhea before ..We were used to taking daily morning walks with a friend and her basset hound.Sometimes one or the other finds and eats something nasty..Anyway it seems to be slowing down..He only went once so far today..thanks again.

My male basenji approx. 10 yrs old has it .It is black .Nothing but liquid.He is on cortisone.Had a bad fall. hurt right rear leg..Not healing right.Toes turning under..Under vet care for leg. Want to know if cortison maybe causing the diarrhea.I am giving him rice and pedialite..That has stopped it before….Any suggestions?
