Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Thanks so much everyone! those good thougths/prayers ARE working and we anticipate she'll be home around lunchtime. She will need a bland diet for a while, but we ARE planning for a complete recovery. I'll post again when she's home.

  • That's good news! How scary for the both of you to go through this! Continued good health, and I will think of the both of you often today.

  • Healing thoughts for you all. Scary.

  • Hoping for a quick recovery

  • Okay, she's home now! YEA! She will be on a bland diet for almost a week, but then we can start introducing her normal food. Of course she managed to charm everyone in the place, but I told them I hoped we did NOT see them again. So much for doing soemthing fun with the tax rebate. Oh well. She does need to go to her regular vet for a quick blood test on Monday and maybe later in the week, but at least she gets to sleep in the bed with me tonight!

  • So glad to hear that she is home and recovering!!! That is super news….

  • I am so glad she is home!

  • Wow…glad to read that everything is going to be okay. Best wishes to you guys!

  • thanks everyone! her blood work looked normal on Monday and today we're going from 4 feedings to 3, so that will be sad for her. I'd say she's about 90% or so back to normal. Tuesday, however, Pearl-petual Motion the crazy malinois threw up blood so she spent Tues at our regular vet's for observation. She was normal there - no vomit, no diarrhea. Except I swear she did not recognize me when I picked her up 8 hours later. Anyone else read Simple Dog Goes for a Joy Ride?

    I really did not write that, but I think Simple dog is a close (very close) relative of Pearl. Pearl's hobbies include spinning, ball chasing and destroying toys.

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @elbrant said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: divisive I guess I'm a dreamer.... but I believe that adults can have discussions and opinions without resorting to name calling and rude remarks. Your input is valuable. Thanks, because it's become a religion as soon as you speak against it people get so offended. The last 3 years has shown that quite clearly @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: Another friend's dog has a swollen leg at the vaccination site of his booster which is not resolving I"m sorry to hear about your friend's loss and understand the concern about the other friend's swollen leg. I had a similar experience, one of my dog's (not doodle) had a grossly swollen leg following a vet visit. The Vet told me it was cancer and I opted to let her go. Month's later I read online that it could have been the result of an allergic reaction. Please advise your friend to research possible answers before she makes a decision. Will do, a lot of the medication/vaccines cause inflammatory responses so it could just be that, it's still not nice for the dog to have that experience @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: dry food ... suffering from malnutrition omgosh! That is so scary!! I doubt the big manufacturers would ever allow a real study to see the light of day, but I would love to see one done. Just the thought makes me want to keep feeding my girl human grade foods. Yeah the same here, her research indicated that raw chicken wings were the optimal food and contain pretty much everything needed. I guess if you think of some of the processed crap they have in supermarkets trading as food for humans you can imagine how low the bar can go for pet food.

    @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
