Our first Bassett and rescue.

36 hours 4 dog parks,1 hotel ,a ferry ride and more carrot sticks than I can count, we are home. We have met Murphy the beagle and Sherlock the cat with zero issues so far. but daddy is broken and has a migraine (im very tired)

I just got my little dude Augustus (Gus) a couple of days ago. He is settling in well, he is playing, eating, and drinking water well. I have been taking him outside every time he wakes up, eats, drinks or plays. I have noticed that when he first wakes up he has a steady stream of urine. He then will continue to squat like he has to pee but only a couple of drops will come out. He is not excessively straining or whimpering when peeing. He even does this inside after he pees outside (I know puppies are gonna have accidents haha) and he does this every 2-3 mins, each time only getting a couple drops out. I’m not really concerned about an obstruction but I am concerned about a UTI, I plan on taking him to the vet tomorrow but I was just curious if anyone else has experienced this with a basset puppy or adult for that matter. As I stated earlier, he is eating, drinking and playing like a puppy should. He does sleep a lot, he takes like 2 hour naps and is then up for 30-60mins and then back to sleep. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey everyone. Please keep my girl in your thoughts for these next few days. Her name is Bells, she just turned 10 a few days ago. She’s been destructive due to the loss of her brother 3 weeks ago. In addition to being in the middle of a move. Today she ate through her bottle of meds; 30 apoquel chewable prescription meds.

Please be aware, yes, it is toxic at high doses. They can OD. She made it to UrgentVet just in time. I truly believe she had maybe an hour left.

She’s staying overnight, up to 3 days, for lipids/IV. This is a very serious situation

If something like this happens to you immediately call poison control. ASPCA’s poison control number is (888) 426-4435. The Dr. said there have been an increased number in toxicology reports due to chewable apoquel overconsumption. (I’m not a dr & it’s been a stressful day. I’m not sure if I said that exactly right). Dogs are getting into them more frequently due to them smelling/tasting like treats

I hope someone who needs to see this post will stumble across it. She is expected to make a full recovery ❤️‍🩹

Anyone else's basset insist they be under the blankets to sleep

Does your basset sing?

This little guy is the newest addition in St. Augustine.

What? Yeah What?

1st a paw-dicure, then coffee before heading to the puppy park. She loves cruising in the Spider, but kept telling me to hurry up at each stop.

I posted a while ago about my basset limping on one of her rear legs. She is the 3 yo tricolor cutie in the photo, pictured with her lemon brother who is 1. The vet put her on anti-inflammatory medication which really helps, and we finally had her sedated xray done. It turns out she has a small tear in her ligament on that leg that has led to inflammation among other things. The vet said she expects this is related to genetics and she got this injury running (these two have regular basset races in our fenced yard). The vet said that my girl will recover, which is great. At the same time, the vet indicated that it is likely that there will be further such injuries on both legs, because statistically this is what happens over time, which terrifies me. I welcome advice, especially from folks with pups with similar diagnoses.
