    @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

    @theoriginaldev As others have said, an older dog would be better on neutral ground. A puppy will probably go really well. From my own experience, a bit of initial posturing from the older dog, then when they realize it’s playtime...the games will commence. Good luck!

    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.

    I found a tea tree spray (aka melaluca) at the local, large feed store. In the horse sections with all the other good stuff.

    @ibi_n_sane: 2 B-s are better then one :d yes, also a lot more work, as they can take over nasty tricks from each other, but on the other hand they play with each other and make themselves more tired, it is a joy to see 2 basenjis playing and enjoying each other, just beware that what 1 can do, 2 can do better and quicker and faster, and then I am talking about the mischievious stuff ;) whahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahahha you are killing me here Kim :D He is!!! :cool: Just when he's near that Tri-thing of you…. :mad: hahahaha

    I think most of us animal lovers are very hard on ourselves. I believe that our beloved critters are looking down on us, saying "Hey, you did the best for me when I was well, and we will be together again, one day, so lets remember the good times!". Major hugs to all you folks. I think your all wonderful!
