@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.
Chicken?
-
my b's do great on Chicken, but they can't handle corn.

Amen to that… corn!!! yuck... my Kristii only has to look at corn and she breaks out into hives
-
Corn is basically a filler and doesn't provide nutritional value anyway-I try to stay away from it.
-
C3 & TOPAZ LOVE LOVE LOVE chicken..until C3 was diagnosed with allergy to poultry
-
do you all just boil it? no seasonings? white only?
-
For tummy upsets, boil, no seasonings… white has less fat.... but I do boil it for regular meals as an extra, especially for my 16yr olds... and I use dark (cheaper)... and keep some of the fat...
-
If you can use brown rice it's better nutritionally than white-also sweet potato is excellent nutrition as well-it's pretty easy for them to digest as well.

I make boiled chicken with rice, carrots, green beans and sometimes peas. He loves it the first day, but he doesn't like eating "leftovers" the next day. And yet he'll eat an old deep-fried chicken wing that he "discovers" near the park. (And nearly rip my hand off if I try to get it away from him.) Go figure!

that made me laugh out loud!

I am also not aware of any problems with feeding chicken. Should be fine as far is I know.
