Eye warts?

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • A couple of weeks ago I noticed a small whitish dot right at the inside corner of Booger's eyelid. I thought it was just a minor battle wound, but it hasn't gotten better. Now he's starting to get one on the other eye. They are both small, whitish dots that are just a little bit calousy or warty looking, if that makes sense. They don't seem to bother him, but I'm wary of eye problems.
    Andrew says a friend of his had a dog that got scratched in the eye by a cat & developed some sort of bacterial infection & it was quickly cleared up with antibiotics. We have a cat, and they frequently wrestle. Could this be a wart? Will this clear up or should we go to the vet?
    I tried to take pictures; they make it look a little worse than it really is. The second shot looks as if its swolen & slightly obscuring his vision, but its not really. He doesn't seem to have any vision problems or anything.



  • I'd take him to the vet.

    I would take him to an opthalmologist for an exam though because there are lots of thing that it could be besides this. He could also be having really bad allergies that is causing inflamation of his eyes. Jennifer

    Of course required for artificial… reread and don't know where you got I didn't know that. I said: As for proving, if you are not using semen, you don't have to test generally. Pretty clear I know if you use semen (ie not live cover) you have to test. But you ALSO have to test when producing lots of litters. I saw no reason to get into the specifics there. But let me state it clearly so you don't argue more on item that has nothing to do with the issue.. If you use semen (ie not live cover) you have to do DNA. If you do live cover, generally you do NOT have to do DNA unless you 1. use more than one stud 2. the stud produces a certain number of litters (not looking up number) and a few other situations. And Pat, chill, really. I didn't say looks was the ONLY. My point, which I stated repeatedly, is that the African dogs also don't KNOW for sure if pure basenji.

    @LovingLola: Thanks. I didn't know that they should see an opthamologist regularly. Yes, it is highly recommended, IMO for all breeds, but especially for ours that have eye problems. Like I said, once I have a base line that shows no problems, I don't have a problem with going every two years when in their prime. And it is not all that expensive at least not in the Bay Area and believe me, we are pretty pricey on Vet things….

    I'm glad to hear the spinal tap went so easily. What a brave little girl Keba is. When I first saw she was getting a spinal tap, I thought oh–that sounds painful. I hope things start improving for her.
