Beeji had to go back to the vet hospital

    What a night you had! Hope Beeji is on the mend. I know you've been concerned about the heartworm treatments. I think it's just best that they throw it all up - it get's out all the bad stuff. Can't help to feel bad for him. Take care.

    Bella did the bumpy rash and swollen face thing… Some sort of allergic reaction?? She did it several times, but the swollen face only happened the one time! It literally scared me crazy!! She looked horrible with the swollen face!!! I had just left the Vets with her after her spay and she didn't have the rash or swelling, but 10 min later we watched as the bumps just kept popping out!!! then her eye started swelling, then her other one, etc... I was scared she would start having trouble breathing and scooped her up and went back to the vets... She was miserable, scratching and rubbing her face on the floor. We had to get the shot of Benadryl, same as you, etc. The Vet said it couldn't be from his office, tried to say it happened from something that she was exposed to on the way home (a ten minute drive)! But I think it has to be some sort of Lysol product with Bella... I cleaned the house and got the bump reaction twice since the incident and banned Lysol from the house! (I bet that Vet's office had been cleaning with a similar product). She hasn't had an episode since, thank God. I sure hope your baby feels better soon!

    Thanks everyone for the warm wishes, it is now Saturday and Beeji woke up full of steam! He wolfed his breakfast, headed to the rack where his harness and lead are and then dashed to the front door and back to the rack.

    I think he was trying to tell me something!! LOL

    I finished my breakfast, got on my outdoor clothes, harnessed and leashed Beeji and off we went. Had a good long walk and are now back at home and Beeji is curled up on my bed and all is right with the world!!

    Aloha,
    Cheryl

    Yes, that is great! Maybe he ingested something he is allergic to. I would just try to watch his diet in case he has another episode, that way it could be pinpointed. I am so happy Beeji is feeling better, he's such a cutie! How's the heartworm treatment going?

    @bellabasenji:

    How's the heartworm treatment going?

    Beeji just went in to the Vet Hospital today for round two of the treatment. I will be able to get him tomorrow afternoon. He so loves the techs out there, that he didn't even look back as they led him off!! I'm glad but also a bit sad! LOL.

    Anyway, they will call me either tonight or in the morning to let me know how he is doing. Now we go back to keeping him as calm as possible. The meds sort of slow him down and he does feel lethargic for several days.

    But so far so good.

    Thanks!!

    Took my car to the dealer today for an inspection. They put it on a lift and checked all the undercarriage and tires and found NO DAMAGE! Yea! Sure made me happy. Who knew a Prius could run over 2 big aluminum ladders at over 50 mph without any damage? Good thing Don was driving and not me, I probably would have swerved and turned us over, and hit other cars for sure. Whew, a lucky day for us.

    sigh Poor little basenjis. :( This makes me all the more happier that I bought from a great breeder (FoPaws) who made sure I knew about the breed and who stressed returning Kipawa for any reason should things not work out (sorry Therese and Kevin, you'll never get him back! :) ). And kudos to Sharron and everyone here who patiently answered all of my questions for almost a year, prior to me getting Kipawa. With FoPaws and all of you, I knew what to expect, and I was able to determine if the antics of a basenji were acceptable for our home. And they are - we laugh at them, and every night when we first get into bed with Kipawa, we thank Therese and Kevin for all the time they put into their breeding program and the training and socialization they worked on to make Kipawa a very special little man.

    @Kipawa: Yesterday in Vancouver, BC we had what amounted to a monsoon. It spent most of yesterday raining down here in Washington also. My wife had to chase my two down the steps first thing in the morning for them to go outside. They gave me the "Yeah… not going to happen" look when I opened the door for them to go outside for our walk.

    Under the covers, out of the covers, under the covers, out of the covers…....My husband has 3 of us to deal with (menopause is hell:eek:)!! Try buying a body pillow. It divides the bed and lets you sleep on your side with it between your knees which realigns the lower back and pelvis. If the dog takes it over, it slides away easily as opposed to trying to move a sleeping bag of cement. I have many lower back bone spurs and a ruptured disc. My pillow works wonders. Got my last one @ Walmart for $10.00.
