Looking for Vet in Spokane

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • LindaHL

    I know there are several members here who live in Washington State, but I believe all of you live over on the western side of the state. However, I was wondering if anyone knew of a Basenji-savy vet in the Spokane area, or even a Basenji owner who I could contact to find out who they use.

    I'd love to find a wholistic vet, but an Internet search turned up only one…way out in Valleyford, which is a pretty good drive from our place (we're in the far western Spokane metropolitan area, fairly close to Airway Heights for those of you who may be familiar with the area). They do advertise house calls, so I'll probably call them when we return to find out how far they'll drive for a house call and how much they charge ($$ I'm sure).

    When I took my puppy to my vet, he said he had little knowledge of the Basenji, but he would start reading up on them. Since that time, he's thanked me for the opportunity, and says he is learning more all the time - at our last visit for final puppy shots he said he felt he was becoming quite an expert - if you come across a vet who doesn't have a lot of knowledge about them, he could quite easily love the challenge and become great on the Basenji issues. I told him I'd sent for the DNA marker kit and had Shaye tested (thank God, it was clear), and he launched into a really good discussion about the symptoms, illness, etc., and said he was glad I'd done that, but maybe in a while we would do some blood work to be sure of everything. I feel very confident with him now - so, a good vet with a love to be challenged can be an answer too.

    Though my dogs have not had a reaction to a vaccine, I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to vaccines. I would rather give a benadryl to help prvent a reaction then wait and hope for the best. I say this because my cat had a severe vaccine reaction after his rabies shot. Within 20 minutes of the shot he was vomiting, the hair at the vaccination site fell out and the site became swollen. We had to rush him back to the vet to be treated for the reaction.
