Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • My Maggii broken her leg at 4 1/2 months… after two surgeries to first insert a plate in the leg and then a second to re-open the growth plate... I understand your pain.... been there, done that... it was an accident... period, end of the conversation. They are dogs, they play, they run, they jump... they can and do get hurt... we do the best we can...

    By the way, Maggii turned out perfect, finished her championship both in the show ring and as a Field champion... had many Best of Breeds, placings in group and a Best in Specialty win... along with whelping a litter.... so all well that ended well.

  • glad to hear a positive story about Maggii :) good on her.

    yeah accident happen. its horrible.

    will let you's all know how her vet app goes next monday and what the vet thinks.

  • So glad she is doing better. Our Xander dislocated his hip at around 5 months. He was jumping up on our bed from one side just S the whippet came racing up from the other and they hit mid air. Fortunately our chiropractor was able to fix it, he did require twice a week underwater treadmill therapy for six weeks to bring him back to 100 percent

  • Thanks for the update on Hope, i'm glad she's doing well

  • Amen on accidents happen. Thing is, same fall even if you had been standing watching probably. All things designed to age us.

    Her licking your cheek, don't they just bore into your heart and carve their shape there?

  • So glad to hear Hope is doing better. I am sure she will be back to normal in no time..

  • hi all, saw the vets today foe her first check up since the incident, they were very pleased with her progress. ready to start light leashed walks now. shes been very good. doesnt look like she needs surgery as everything is still firmly in place. yipee. weighed her today and she was 9.91kgs too…. lol

    added a little video of her enjoyin some off leash play in our garden today on my youtube channel (would add the link but im on a phone, WildFlicka is the channel name and some may already know it. shes so cute :) lol)

  • So glad to hear the good news!!! CHeers!

  • WONDERFUL news! Aren't our 'kids' resilient?

    Good news. After finishing a 14 day course of antibiotics, using antifungal/antibacterial wipes, and a switch in food, Mojo's toes are almost back to normal. Fingers (and toes) crossed that whatever he had doesn't come back. (The comment about dogs thinking bitter apple is a great basting sauce was cute. ) [image: 1529958787378-mojo-x27-s-toes-21-jun-2018-sm.jpg]

    Pat, I will email it to you separately. Apparently, it just wants to save is as a picture and when I reduce it, it goes all blurry. If anyone else would like it, email me to shadow_brat2004@yahoo.ca This is just on more thing on my list of why not to stop strip testing.

    Shadow ran his first 3 races on Sunday. He came in as the turtle, but he finished! Oval courses are what he ran about 400 yds each time. The last time around there were about 20 people at the finish line cheering him on. He sure didn't run fast, but he finished.

    We had the same problem when Seti was a puppy. It turned out that he had crystals in his bladder due to the food we were giving him (I think it was Wellness brand but not entirely sure). We changed his diet and it went away and has never come back. Hopefully your problem is minor like ours!
