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.

    My Valentino had terrible dandruff. His vet said it was due to dry skin. She had me add Goat's milk and coconut oil to his diet. His dandruff lessened dramatically after about a month. The amount of coconut oil (solid or liquid) per day should be no more than 1 teaspoon per 10lbs of body weight. Valentino is about 27 lbs. so I give him about 2.5-3 teaspoons a day. I divide the amount in half and add it too his meals. I feed goat milk rarely because it is so high in calories.

    Is there anyone out in the New Jersey area (or knows of a site that I can be directed to) who knows of any vets that have knowledge of Basenjis? We have a 4 month old Basenji and our breeder took her to the vet at 8 wks but she hasnt been to one since so I've been looking for a good vet for a standard visit and cant seem to find one who knows about Basenjis (well all the vets Ive talked to, act like they know about them but you can tell they've never had one as a patient ;0 Thanks for the help!

    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.

    @Benkura: His brother is my other boy 'Cahnce' who is Clear. It's just Chance & Trouper are chalk and cheese and both have good to offer the breed. I did wonder whether neutering him would be beneficial or not. Wasn't sure if it might induce too much stress. However, I would have to stop showing him if I did that and he already has 1 CC. I would not worry about doing it now… only something to consider "IF" he starts showing symptoms.... When Jaadii came down with Fanconi it was before the DNA test was available, so no one knew until he started spilling sugar. He was fine 11 months out of the year, but during Basenji breeding season he was a mess... and that was a lot of stress on him... So being neutered was not stressful, it was NOT being neutered that was. That said, not all dogs are alike... each are different... just putting in what we found with Jaadii....
