Thanks for letting us know - I'm going to try on the UK Amazon site.

Scarlett is a very sweet B, but she also a typical b as well…very ornery!

Glad she is home and doing well!

Basenjis are unbelievably tough, my boy Sober injured a rear leg two years ago. We took him to the vet thinking soft tissue injury but the vet felt the knee had been injured. We went to an ortho vet top guy in the area who recommend surgery and reconstruction of the leg. He said he would never move correctly again and the surgery could cause other issues in his gait that could still put pressure on the other leg. We actually considered amputation. I have seen dogs recover and adapt so quickly when loosing a leg that it seemed at 8 years old (at the time) rather than months of rehab and pain it would be a better option for him. We brought him home and started making arrangements to consult another ortho surgeon outside our area for a second opinion. We noticed he seemed better, so we waited and watched letting him decide when he was okay or not to run or play. He is perfectly fine now. Within a couple months of quiet time he regained full use, he has not since limped or had any pain issues, he runs and plays with the young dogs with no problems, he is 10 now and doing great. Moose may surprise you and be just fine, it will just take time. Hug the boy for us and we are so glad he is okay. It says alot that he found his way home, you must be a really great basenji mom, but then we suspected that. Therese and Kevin

@moshun111: Don't try to do it yourself if you don't know what you are doing; you can injure his rectum. Have a vet or groomer show you a few times until you can do it on your own. Gosh, if this is a bot/spammer/etc. they sure are getting clever.

It was great seeing you at Batman at the show last weekend, keeping Ace in our prayers, she is such a sweet girl, hate to have this happening to you two.

Yes… Frontline is not a problem, IMO... go ahead and use it....

Thanks, that's good to know! :) And Dex sends his thanks for your get well soon wishes.

You do not need the full strips unless you are checking for other things. Just make sure you get the strips that test for glucose not ketones! You can buy Bayer Diastix or Bayer Clinistix for strictly glucose urine testing. Jennifer

It sounds like one of my Basenji's (Bungwa) ears. He is losing hair in patches on his ears. I first put it down to him pushing his head through the wire fence but thinking back one of his predecessors had the same but also his nose as you describe. It's a very long time ago and i can't remember how we trated it nor what causes it. I'm off to the vet with him next week for a diagnosis and treatment. I'll be interested to hear what your vet thinks.

The more data that is in the data base, the better people can use the that information as this is a Linkage test only… and errors can be made either human or test....

@Marie: One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet and which is recommended when treating giardia is to bathe the dog. This is because the giardia cysts can adhere to the hair around the hind end of the dog who then can re-infect himself by grooming. More of a factor in a long haired dog, obviously, but if it were me I'd be giving Oakley a few baths just to be on the safe side. (I'm sure he'll thank me for this suggestion! :eek:) Oooooo, I didn't know that! That is a great bit of info!

Yeah, I knew he was a spammer, but I just figured I'd humor them. It is funny, but the other spam on the site that is completely random/irrelevant is just annoying.

Pat, My email is carter_shona@hotmail.com. Email me and I will send breeding info.

Once again your writing style completely cracked me up. "Floofing up my hair"!! :D Are you a professional writer perchance? It has occured to me that perhaps Revo is off-label for Sarcoptes in the US. Sometimes label claims will vary from one country to the next. But it's not all THAT expensive - yes, it's our most expensive hwmed, but you wouldn't need an entire season's worth of doses, only a couple of months. That being said, the ivermectin will work, just a bit more of a hassle than an easy topical treatment. Hope Mystic's feeling better. Did they tell you that as the mites are dying she can experience even more intense itching for a while? Just to forewarn you, lest you think the treatment's not working.

Thank you LindaH - definitely asking Bev for sure! :)

This is off topic, but has Dexter had a series of puppy shots yet?

@DebraDownSouth: Don't assume it is depression… get a vet check. Then proceed with other things. Often simply lots of walks and exercise will help. +1. Although the timing seems to point to being upset about losing his friend, I would rule out any/all physical health problems first.
