BASENJI BRIEFS
By Susan Chuvala
Avocado, if consumed in signifi cant quantities,
will cause gastrointestinal upset and can cause
respiratory distress in dogs. The pit of the avocado
contains persin, a toxic fatty acid which leaches into the
fruit. Persin is also present in the leaves and other parts
of the avocado plant. While a small sample of guacamole
might not cause any harm to your basenji, it's probably best
to avoid avocado products altogether so as not to encourage
him to acquire a taste for this potentially poisonous fruit.
Should the need arise to induce vomiting in
your basenji, a reliable method is the use of 3%
hydrogen peroxide. The correct dose for dogs
is 1 ml per pound of body weight, not to exceed
three tablespoons (45 ml). One teaspoon will usually do
the trick for an average-sized basenji, and vomiting should
occur after about ten minutes. If no results are forthcoming,
repeat with another teaspoon. Shaking the bottle fi rst to
activate the fi zz will help to stimulate regurgitation. Be sure
to keep a fresh bottle on hand (it's also great for removing
bloodstains!)
Corneal abrasions can be caused by many things,
such as sand or dirt in the eye, a collar or slip
lead pulled carelessly over the head, or trauma
from another animal. Signs of a scratched cornea
include squinting, watery eye, and rubbing or pawing at the
face. These injuries are very painful and left untreated can
quickly turn into a corneal ulcer, which will have serious
consequences for the eye. If you suspect that your basenji
may have a corneal abrasion, seek veterinary treatment as
soon as possible.
