Family Tree?

  • @eeeefarm:

    PPM? (Persistent pupillary membranes)

    Would not be PPM. PPM is visable when they open their eyes at birth. Even with very heavy PPM, it looks like a spider web in the eye.. not a spot. Heavy PPM at birth (when they open their eyes make the eye look blue as it is a sheeting over the eye. As the eye grows, the PPM doesn't, it sort of like a rubber band that pulls and breaks, but heavy PPM is still visable to the naked eye. But again at his age, it would really just look like a spider web. Since PPM is there from the time they open their eyes, you would have seen it way before now if it was still causing a clouding of the eye.

    Could be many things, Cataracts come to mind even at this age. That is why best to have it check by a board certified Ophthalmologists

  • Good info to know Tanza! Im def. getting him checked…hope he's not starting to go blind in that eye...that would stink...since hes only 4yrs old.

    It's so good to have your news and update on Kipawa - he is certainly growing to be a well mannered young man with his care for your sister's dog and the cat. We have the same problem with 'Bunnies' Our windows are strengthened but I can always envisage a total of 40+ kilos of Basenji hurtling through them after the 'Bunnies'! Always a dream, I hope!!

    Oh how exciting basenjis and boxers are the best combo IMO there is no better pair to have they complement each other perfectly. I have two males (well 3 including the foster), one intact and the other 2 are not and see no problems; once in a awhile the basenjis (younger of the two) challenges the boxer and he just gives him a "you're kidding me right" look.

    Joey's breeder is Eric Williams in Michigan. I just met Joey's great aunt who is so precious! She is 4 and a tri. Eric is dogsitting Joey for a few days over the holiday and even tho I miss Joey so much already (I dropped him off at noon), I know he is in good hands! I hope Joey will want to return home!!!
