Basenji Health Issues & Questions

    My elderly Basenji girl, Zoom seems to be having a lot of pain in her legs. It started with her front legs and now her hind legs seem to be bothering her considerably as well. Has anyone used anything with good results? She will be 15 in March. She still loves to play, but will cry with pain in her legs and it breaks my heart.

    When Chance was limping due to a joint injury in his front paw, we thought he had Arthritis, which has similar symptoms. I had him on
    Glucosamine and Turmeric which seemed to relieve the pain. There are a number of products on Amazon you can buy.

    If both front and back, could be her spin. I'd have the doctor check her. I have had good results using bromelain (it is from pineapples and a natural anti-inflammatory). You can get it off amazon or some health food stores.

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!
