My Valentino had terrible dandruff. His vet said it was due to dry skin. She had me add Goat's milk and coconut oil to his diet. His dandruff lessened dramatically after about a month. The amount of coconut oil (solid or liquid) per day should be no more than 1 teaspoon per 10lbs of body weight. Valentino is about 27 lbs. so I give him about 2.5-3 teaspoons a day. I divide the amount in half and add it too his meals. I feed goat milk rarely because it is so high in calories.

Biopsy showed he had high-grade lymphosarcoma.

I'm so sad to hear this, poor little boy. So heart breaking for you and your family, my thoughts are with you.

Devastating news in such a young dog. I'm so sorry at this outcome.
-
I am so sorry; how heartbreaking
-
I am so sorry. I lost my basenji at 6 to lymphoma.
Spent 5 mos and many thousands on chemo and treatment but she crashed on every protocol -
So sorry, is this the same one that Jae was talking about that was put to sleep?
-
I am so sorry to hear about the lymphoma. Sweet boy, far too young for that.
Before I got all the way through the thread and read the bad news, I was going to suggest this, and especially if your carpet is still a mess, it might be worth looking into:
Every doggy mom/dad should have one. It's great to have on hand for the "what did you eat, let's clean it up" moments and is worth every penny.

Thank you.
We had it steam cleaned because of the giardia. At the time we thought he was coming home and so we disinfected everything.
I will still take a look at that because I do have a husband who likes to make a mess. >__<
-
Thank you.
Yes.
I see you're from Rolla. I grew up in Cabool. I had a basenji from a breeder in the area. His name was Mack ( the breeder).

Thank you everyone for your condolences.

If we had known, I seriously thought I would put him through chemo just to keep him with me for longer, but I know he's no longer suffering and I hope he's in a better place.

He is in a better place… just remember you will carry his soul in your heart forever... All of my Basenjis that have passed before me are here in my heart
