Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • HanaH

    Hi everyone!

    We just picked up our new girl yesterday from Texas (I still have to sit and type up a intro on the welcome thread ;) and of course we're looking for a basenji friendly and knowledgable vet asap. Willing to drive to see a good one (ie Mesa? Gilbert? whatever it takes) We're in the Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale area….

    Thank you so much!!

    I don't know of any because it's been a long time since we've lived in Phoenix. But you might try contacting Bev to find out who she uses. She may also have other recommendations.

    Hi, Lots of good advice here already. For the time being: I found in the Animal Desk Reference Manual (Essential Oils for Animals) by Melissa Shelton under Giardia on page 417 a list of possible remedies. One that you may have access to is Clove oil - you can put a drop or two in her water daily or in her food. Essential oils are very effective against parasites.

    So many of those poses and positions are the same things I see Paco do. I'm also no expert, and Paco's my first dog that's mine-all-mine for me to watch all the time, but I feel like Tag's face is very Basenji-like…and if he yodels as well... if he doesn't have Basenji in him, I'd at least say you could describe him to others as a Basenji-like dog.

    A great thing about where you live in MA is that if there was something your regular vet couldn't handle, you have both Tufts and Angell Memorial within a reasonable driving distance.

    @etzbseder: While I've got people looking at this, my B also has a minor umbilical hernia, I was wondering, how big of an issue is it, and should I get him fixed. Do the potential problems get overweighed by the benefits? That is usually not a big deal. The majority of Basenjis are born with umbilical hernias. Should you get him fixed? As in neutered? Yes. Should you get the hernia fixed? They could do it when they neuter him if it bothers you…but it isn't a health concern unless it is quite big.

    Thank you so much for the encouraging words. We have been running him with our other dogs in our yard, we have about half acre or so, and he is fast..He loves it, just don't think he is used to out heat yet, it is already about 85+ degrees and very humid…I think he looks good, he is definitely babychunky, not fat, but what I envision a puppy looking like before he grows into his own body. We will keep up with what we have done so far and see what he turns out like...can't be bad, just beautiful.. Basenjimamma
