Sores on roof of mouth

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Any ideas what this could be from?

    The only thing I could think of is her chewing on a bully stick for too long? I also just switched her kibble so could it potentially be a texture difference thing?

  • If worried, take her to the Vet. Best to be safe than sorry anyway and although some people on the forums might have experience of this condition, a trip to a real live vet would be the best thing !

  • It's doubtful that kibble would cause this. Something she was chewing... maybe. Personally, I would keep an eye on it over the next couple days/week and note through photos whether the condition is improving or not. The photos will give you something to actually show the Vet (much easier than explaining it). Meanwhile, observe your dog's eating patterns, energy level, and chewing habits for obvious changes and indications of injury/illness.

    If you do go to the Vet, please update us all on the results. :)

  • @dedes9-While this could be from a bully stick but I have never had that issue... You didn't say what age she is? Is she still teething? But in the end, I would seek a Vet visit as soon as possible.

    No sore spots whatsoever - though his stomach is almost permanently "taut" or flexed, unless he's had his anti-inflammatory meds. He eats well and can go to the bathroom well, but as days pass his hind legs are getting worse and worse (to the extent I'm sure he'll just end up permanently lame if I don't anything more). I am praying/hoping/wishing that laser therapy can provide some assistance, as his one session of a few weeks back resulted in him being almost "back to normal" for about 4-5 days! If I can get another miracle result, I think I will look into multiple treatments until he seems better. This is such a stressful time, but I'm grateful for your condolences/suggestions - everything helps - thank you so much!

    @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.

    @Mmasco If you are still here will you please update me on your pup? I'm interested because I have two of Rocket Man's litter mates.

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284
