Hemorrhoids?


  • Hi Jennifer, if your suggestion to worm all dogs was to me, we did worm the younger 2 with a different drug, 1 dose last week and another in a month. I pretty much insisted on it. Topper has other health issues and a crappy immune system, so he gets stuff the others don't get, but I don't want any yukky hookworms anywhere around us.

    And Patty, your boy could have anal gland issues that are causing the licking, not necessarily worms.

  • MacPack - thank you,Ama goes to the vets tomorrow so will then know what's what. The glands don't seem impacted but could certainly be the problem. I'll let you know.


  • MacPack - thank you - it was anal glands and boy, were they full! We didn't get to the vet until today because we had car issues. Ama is his old self again now so he was obviously very uncomfortable before.
    I don't know why he had troubles because he is fed raw meat and plenty of vegetables so I would think he has plenty of fibre to keep him firm. Does any one have any ideas of what else I can give him to help prevent this happening again?


  • I feed my 2 raw pumpkin and have no gland issues here.


  • I know the hemorrhoids issue was a little time ago but here is food for that and several other things. You can look up Colloidal Silver on goggle and see what all it is good for. One of the web sites I looked at today was www.diagnose-me.com. We have used silver on our dogs before it was the 10 ppm that is high enough on the ppm goes higher and higher but as I said 10 ppm is more than enough. Please look up colloidal silver.

    I'll try pumpkin if I can get hold of it - it's not readily available here. Thanks.

    @elbrant said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: divisive I guess I'm a dreamer.... but I believe that adults can have discussions and opinions without resorting to name calling and rude remarks. Your input is valuable. Thanks, because it's become a religion as soon as you speak against it people get so offended. The last 3 years has shown that quite clearly @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: Another friend's dog has a swollen leg at the vaccination site of his booster which is not resolving I"m sorry to hear about your friend's loss and understand the concern about the other friend's swollen leg. I had a similar experience, one of my dog's (not doodle) had a grossly swollen leg following a vet visit. The Vet told me it was cancer and I opted to let her go. Month's later I read online that it could have been the result of an allergic reaction. Please advise your friend to research possible answers before she makes a decision. Will do, a lot of the medication/vaccines cause inflammatory responses so it could just be that, it's still not nice for the dog to have that experience @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: dry food ... suffering from malnutrition omgosh! That is so scary!! I doubt the big manufacturers would ever allow a real study to see the light of day, but I would love to see one done. Just the thought makes me want to keep feeding my girl human grade foods. Yeah the same here, her research indicated that raw chicken wings were the optimal food and contain pretty much everything needed. I guess if you think of some of the processed crap they have in supermarkets trading as food for humans you can imagine how low the bar can go for pet food.

    @Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284
