Fur

  • so Mia got spayed in mid December, and the spot that they shaved on her tummy doesn't really seem to be growing in. How long does it take to fill out again? I think they shaved quite a bit if you ask me, it's like at least 3 inches up from her scar on each side. Where they put the IV on her arm is growing in a little faster than her tummy.

  • Cory was spayed in December also and her hair is still growing in. (I had to look - since it is in the middle of white hair, it isn't too noticeable.) I think dog hair just grows in slower - at least it seems that way. When we adopted our basset, she had just completed treatment for heartworms and had shaved areas where the IVs had been. Seemed like it took furever for the hair to fill in completely.

  • I don't remember how long Jazzy's took last Summer, but Keoki was nuetered in early December and his is still growing in also. You can still tell where his leg was shaved; it's about grown in, but you can still see lines.

  • Squiggy had ear surgery on 11-20-07 and his hair on his head is still growing in and hasnt blended in yet.
    So, it takes awhile.

  • When chewy was neuterd it took his fur abd 4 mths to completey grow back in.

    @senjisilly just now saw your reply. Thanks for the pedigree website. I knew about it and it’s a great resource.

    @tanza I don't believe there was a limit to the number of letters, though I wasn't paying much attention to whether the field stopped me from continuing. Tanza is nice! I was actually surprised no one has claimed the name :D

    @zande - So true Zande, the test is 65.00 and considering the heartbreak and cost of caring for a Fanconi Basenji (try shoving down 20+ pills a day) it is something that anyone breeding, even Back Yard Breeders or Puppymills should always do... Also if someone happens to get a puppy or is unsure about the breeder they did get a Basenji puppy from, spend the 65.00 and have the DNA Fanconi test done... again it is a cheek swab that you order from OFA.org

    I give a human Omega 3 EPA/DHA pill. It should state on the bottle that it is certified free of heavy metals like mercury. I am giving it to my boy who is 11 for immunity purposes. Jennifer
