Hope's at the Vets ER.

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!

    Anytime I have a dog that has a UTI, I add extra water to their food. I also give Cranberry pills. I sometimes give Vitamin C but that is based on the ph level of the urine and the recommendation of the vet. My dogs rarely have crystals but perhaps I catch the UTIs early. It seems like rescues I get from shelters almost always have UTIs. I think they get it from either holding it too long because they do not want to get their kennel dirty or because they eat dry food and drink water separately. Jennifer

    Thanks for the advice. I bought a small pack of unscented, alcohol-free Pampers wipes - so far, so good. If the Wet Ones are safe to use, then I'd like to try those - I use those everyday anyway (I'm a germ-a-phob). And as always, Trinity is so compliant - totally helps the process!

    My Nika's eye got cloudy to the point of flicking your finger at it got no response then the eye turned blood red. Went to the eye vet and it turns out the lens inside the eye slipped. I had to give her other eye these very expensive eye drops called Xalatan or Travatan that kept the pressure down and the pupil small but even then the lens was moving around a little.

    We checked the OFA site, and spoke with Liz who forwarded us to John Kirby. The test may have failed & they might be re-running it. John said he would call us if we needed to retest, so hurry up & wait some more!

    We use a cool coat on our dogs from time to time, mostly at shows.
