Bring your paperwork that the breeder gave you to your first visit because they will want to know some things like birth date, always (in the first year or so when lots of shots are administered) bring the vaccination record book Pam and Sheila gave you and ensure they make a copy of it and not just write it down..you will also want to update your copy as your pup receive shots so like I said..bring it so they can fill it in for you. Any questions you have regarding vaccinations I highly suggest asking your vet but also getting in touch with Pam to ask her opinion, she knows her dogs and her lines and she is better equipped than the vet to give you an honest evaluation on which to give. Also try to follow her guidance on neutering and spaying (if you plan to). I know with Oakley I followed their advice. It might be true or not but in my opinion basenjis tend to mature slower and I find they need more time for the growth plates to close before castrating is a wise choice.
Kipawa is now home from the vet

B's groggy?? Sleepy?? Does anything slow them down? Hope the ice helps the swelling.

Once every 12 hours isn't a sedative dose. Once every 6 hours does have sedative effects.

Oh..poor guy with the swelling…I hope the ice worked.

My guy had some swelling for a few days, it's not unusual. The exertion likely didn't help.
-
Ive had something called Tramal myself fr back pain and it makes me very sleepy…. Sounds like may be related.... Hope he gets better!! It should help, helped me...

How is the swelling today?
The swelling is definitely getting better and it is not so red. But darn it, depending on what position he is laying in, it looks like he is still intact!

It just takes time.
