I have noticed that Lillie hiccups alot. It mostly happens when she is sleeping and lasts several seconds. Is this normal? I think I will mention it to the vet the next time I bring her in.
I know Damisi hiccups a bit. She was sleeping with me the other morning and I felt hiccup 1, hiccup 2 and the blah! She threw up right in my lap. Good thing I was ready for it!!
I hate when they'd puke in my bed, especially on a work night at 2-3am. If they'd start with that gagging/warning sound I'd jump up and grab them or stick some paper or something under them.
@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.
@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.
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!

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.
