I've Got A Grinder

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • With all the wierd sounds our B makes he now has a new one. His puppy teeth are falling out and new ones are growing in. Early one morning I heard him grinding his teeth. He doesn't seem to be in any pain. I checked his gums and everything looks to be fine.
    Now with the old man denture sucking sound he makes I now get some grinding. Music to our ears :rolleyes:

  • Sometimes there's a loose baby tooth in there rattling around and he may be trying to get rid of it.

    Because by then they should be hormonally mature even if not fully structurally mature. I don't read much research - I follow experience ! Ideally, not at all, but if they MUST be spayed, then let them grow up first.

    well, we made an adjustment. i bought one of the inflatable collars today. i'm not totally impressed because i'm sure if she were determined, she could still get at those stitches. fortunately, she doesn't seem like she wants to work that hard. so, i will let her wear that while i am with her so she can chew on toys comfortably, smell properly at restroom times, not run into walls, etc. when she's in her crate, i'm going to put the e-collar back on since i can't supervise. better safe than sorry. i'm still contemplating about bedtime…. she sleeps with me, so she's quasi-supervised, but i'm sleeping, so not entirely. we'll see....

    Shadow ran his first 3 races on Sunday. He came in as the turtle, but he finished! Oval courses are what he ran about 400 yds each time. The last time around there were about 20 people at the finish line cheering him on. He sure didn't run fast, but he finished.
