Malaika and Kwame

[Patty]

Good to hear from you all again. Malaika and Kwame are obviously doing well. How on earth did Kwame cut his paw? The poor, poor boy!!

Beautiful pair. Kwame looks adorably pathetic. A bandaged paw is even more effective than the cone of shame!

Thanks for these photos. My kids and I got a big kick out of them. Poor Kwame!!!!!!

Loved your pictures…..yes, he is quite the drama queen, like most Basenjis. Beautiful dogs. And congrats on the KC good citizenship efforts. Basenjis can always find something more interesting to do than a recall.

thank you, yes he is a drama queen,lol

We're not sure Helena, last sunday we took them for a run to the river, it's a safeish area where we can let them off lead.
They both had a good rampage in the fields and it was only when we got home that we noticed him licking. He sliced one of his pads quite deeply. We cleaned and bandaged it up but because he was crying so much we took him to the vets who said it wasn't realy very deep.
He had it cleaned and bandaged and antibiotics.
Realy must make up a canine first aid.

lol, i put a cone on him yesterday when we removed the bandage, however he could still just about get to it.

These pics of Kwame made me laugh. He is milking that sore foot for all it's worth! And it looks like it is working. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Kwame.

p.s. Doggie first aid kit - I have one and keep it in the trunk of my car.

thanks Fran, his foot is much better today, being exposed to the air is doing it good.

That's progrees - the bandage coming off. I don't suppose it matters if he llicks it unless he does it excessively. Poor, poor paw, Kwame.
