Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • J

    Anyone have a recommendation for a vet in Pittsburgh?

    Dexter has had very loose stool since we got him, and it has gotten the point of diarrhea over the past day. We have to go in for a wellness exam and vaccination anyways and I hope to find a vet experienced with Basenjis if anyone lives around this area.

    Thanks!

    Once you rule out any medical problems, food allergies, etc., pumpkin (canned, unsweetened) can really help with loose stools. I have also found that squash (I use acorn) is great as well.

    What are you feeding Dexter right now?

    Just curious, but have you changed his food since you brought him home, or is he on the same food he was on at Kyle's?

    Thanks for the replies. Dexter is on Orijen, the same food he was on with Kyle.

    Sorry to hear that Oakley went though this, but I have to say thanks for posting about this. I use Xylitol for my own baking/sweetening while I'm dieting… looks like I'll only keep the Stevia in the house... in the highest cupboad!

    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!

    @Phebese: We take Max to the Banfield in the Petsmart on Cobb Pkwy in Acworth. We have gone to many different veterinarians but only found two that we feel comfortable with. We have the Banfield insurance which really helps, but most importantly he is comfortable going there and we trust them. He has been there twice in the past couple of weeks getting a cyst removed. They call in between appointments to check on him and see if we have any concerns. We do not like all the Banfield clinics, in fact the one on 92 we did not like. Another good vet is Randy Esbeck at Sawnee Animal Clinic 770-887-1900. He is a Basenji specialist. It's in Cumming Georgia. It's just to far for us to go. Good Luck, Max's Mom (Emily) As they say, it is not the place but the Vet that is working there…. so while many of the Banfield clinic might not be good, when you luck into a good Vet.. that makes the clinic... IMO
