I've noticed recently that we have 3 new members with sick pups: one diagnosed with Anemia, and two with Giardia (Kane, and Zazie). Am I wrong in thinking that this seems atypical?
Nope.... not in my opinion....not atypical. especially if these pups come for BYB or Millers.... That said, Giardia is not uncommon nor is a pup with a UTI.... In regards to Giardia, I wonder if these pups shown symptoms when still with the breeder?
@tanza:
These kinds of problems are not uncommon when your Basenjis start to reach their "golden" years. You might want to try him on Dr. Dodd's liver cleansing diet.

Many have used it and had great results regardless of what you find out the issue might be.
Good Suggestion Pat as I had an older B with liver issues in 2008 and that diet brought it down into normal range.
And in the end, just treasure your time together and give him the best care you can.. which to me sometimes means just keeping them comfortable…. that is the best any of us can do...
This could possibly be a minor epileptic attack. I have seen a video of many forms of these attacks (no basenjis) many of them very different and this was an example.
A canine neurologist could confirm.
