Homeopathy for Basenjis?

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Ziggy is still battling sinus/nasal drop and reverse sneezing. I'm thinking of trying a homeopathic treatment for the sinusitis and nasal drip. Has anyone here used homeopathy for their B? What did you use, and how well did it work? Thanks much. :-) ~ Lori ~

    While I have not used one, I know many people that have and they are quite good, main thing is ask for references.. and you can seach on line for one in your area….

  • I have to say–I'm very conservative when it comes to health care (both mine and my dogs....). I would go the regular vet route first. As a matter of fact, when my regualr vet couldn't solve Tyler and Zoey's skin problems, I took them to a dermatologist--he's supposed to be the best in the Bay Area. He actually did a skin biopsy on both of them, and they are finally on the right meds and getting better every day.

    We have some excellent Homopathic Vets in the Bay area… and you will find that most of them are both regular Medical Vets..... but yes, I would always try my regular Vet (but of course mine is quick to suggest a referral if needed) and yes there are some great dermatologist in this area too...

  • Yes–I forgot that there are actually homeopathic vets available. We are so lucky here in the Bay Area--we have great vets, specialists and also UC Davis veterinary school/drs not too far away--and believe me--I have used all of these resources over the past 18 years.....

    My C3 has the same itchy skin problems too mostly due to the 1001 allergies he has…but I use the Aveeno Oatmeal Ointment to help calm the itch & I also put Brewers Yeast tablets & Fish Oil tablets into his food to help keep his skin & coat healthy. Sometimes we need to bathe regularly (like once a week :eek:) in the Aveeno oatmeal shampoo to help as well. Good luck!

    Thank you so much for the encouraging words. We have been running him with our other dogs in our yard, we have about half acre or so, and he is fast..He loves it, just don't think he is used to out heat yet, it is already about 85+ degrees and very humid…I think he looks good, he is definitely babychunky, not fat, but what I envision a puppy looking like before he grows into his own body. We will keep up with what we have done so far and see what he turns out like...can't be bad, just beautiful.. Basenjimamma
