Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • RivermoonR

    I give all my dogs vitamins, and the Pet-tabs are found to have trace amounts of lead in them, so I have switched to Nupro (thanks for all the info Lorraine), which for me with Apache is a bonus as it comes in powder form. Rather then trying to force them down his throat, I now sprinkle it on his food.:D

    After reading Jazzy's Mom's letter from Dr. Gonto I have also gotten a Brita filter pitcher and now give the dogs that water.

    Stormie is loving his Nupro, too! I make his into a gravy and give it to him as a treat for taking all his meds! He doesn't even know it's supposed to be good for him! ;) Glad it's working for you, too Lynn!

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂

    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!

    @mryltis 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. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284

    @nobarkus: That's a possibility. Though I'm not sure what's in plastic that could be missing in the diet. Mine have eaten dirt/clay to get the minerals. Can you get Steve's Raw Dog Food? It's sold mostly at Whole Foods Market. http://www.stevesrealfood.com/. I'm picking up a new tri today from BRAT and I'm going to try it. The woman who runs BRAT said it help her B that had chronic diarrhea. You can mix it with kibble. I'm also going to use Organix dry dog food to mix it with. Let us know how it goes.. and we would love for you to join us next weekend in Livermore for the BCONC lure trial/puppy match/club meeting….

    It means both parents had to have at least one copy of the gene. They could both have been Carriers and still produced Affected offspring. That is why a Carrier should only be bred to a Clear because otherwise they can produce Affected offspring.

    I can't use the fish oil for my B since he is allergic to fish but I started using olive oil in his food (no nutitional value really) any other suggestions?
