  • This is the hardest gift we can give our beloved dogs.
    The gift of peace, to be free of pain.
    I truely believe we see our dogs again, that they never truely leave us…they are with us always.
    Hugs, hugs, hugs.

  • loosing our beloved friend is one of the hardest things in life to face. She is no longer hurting , may that sustain you They unfortunately no matter how long we share our lives with them are only lent to us for a short time. Having just gone thru this in August I know how you feel. Your head knows it was right but your heart is broken. my deepest sympathies

  • I'm so sorry for your loss.

  • Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Dacia didn't make it. What a shock to have her go so quickly, though I suppose in some ways better than a long illness. Hugs to you and your family.

  • So sorry for your loss, but she is free of pain… and running free over the rainbow bridge with all that have gone before her....

  • Thinking of you and Dacia today. I hope your painful loss becomes easier to bear as time goes on; and I hope tomorrow brings some relief from your pain.

    Losing a family member is devastating. Our Baseji's ARE family.

  • Our sympathies and prayers are with you as you try to get through this difficult time! I'm so sorry you had to make such a tough decision with such a young and treasured dog, but she will watch over you, thankful that you freed her from her pain.

  • So sorry to hear of your news. I know how you feel and may God bless you…

    @Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can. Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.

    @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.

    @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

    One of the main things they looks for on fatty tumors is "is it connected"… or can you get your fingers around it... meaning it is not attached to anything.... usually when not attached to anything they are OK... just very "unsightly"....
