Looking for Vet in Spokane

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • LindaHL

    I know there are several members here who live in Washington State, but I believe all of you live over on the western side of the state. However, I was wondering if anyone knew of a Basenji-savy vet in the Spokane area, or even a Basenji owner who I could contact to find out who they use.

    I'd love to find a wholistic vet, but an Internet search turned up only one…way out in Valleyford, which is a pretty good drive from our place (we're in the far western Spokane metropolitan area, fairly close to Airway Heights for those of you who may be familiar with the area). They do advertise house calls, so I'll probably call them when we return to find out how far they'll drive for a house call and how much they charge ($$ I'm sure).

    Cara had coccidia when we got her, but I have read research that it is killed more easily with ammonia than bleach so that's what I used–- pick up, pour ammonia over area. Neither Connor nor Arwen got it. But since you weren't doing it before, do take in stool samples of the other dogs to avoid them continuing to pass it around. A dog can have it with limited effect and still be passing it in stools to recontaminate your pup. http://www.sheltermedicine.vet.cornell.edu//shelter/coccidia.htm

    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....

    You might want to watch her carefully in regard to her food, treats, and whatever she eats when you're not looking. Then change one by one to see if the diarrhea is indeed because of the particular brand of food.
