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.

    @Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can. Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.

    @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

    @glenn-jalivay2 There is a difference between "more and more ...getting sick" and more are reported thanks to internet/online reporting. There is no evidence that raw diets are healthier (or as healthy even). In fact, with a dog with possible autoimmune issues, a raw diet could be dangerous and is something the owner needs to discuss with their vet nor veterinary nutritionist.

    @Buddys: Uzie had some bite marks on his neck , though not puncture marks as your baby did. The hair did grow back but it took a about 8weeks. That Boston mix sure has to learn bite inhibition! Zorro was too nice not to teach him a lesson! I am actually quite surprised he didn't teach her a lesson!! She tried eating in his food bowl and eating his bone, Zorro went nuts. He growled at her and tried biting her! But when she bugged him he just let her do it! But I am glad to say he has healed nicely! The whole scabbing process was quite disgusting as he would scratch them and eat what would fall off. He does have little bald spots on his neck (haha) but it is growing back nicely! Thank you all for your help!! I would have rushed to the vet for nothing! I cleaned his bite marks well and he did all the rest on his own!
