Heart rhythms/ synching

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • ?

    This is going to sound a bit strange, but I'm okay with that.

    I have an enlarged heart and high blood pressure, often times my heartbeat gets a bit out of whack. my concern is that when Winter curls up with me in bed, her heart beat matches mine. I'm concerned because I'm used to it, I can handle it, but she has a much much smaller heart than I do and I don't want anything to happen to her because of this. I've had her for a month now, and she isn't presenting any issues currently, I'm just asking for discussion purposes.

    Yes, the test for Lyme disease is a blood test. It is a special test that is not in the regular panels– they usually run it separately, after they rule out other things. I hope your B is better! Did you find out what was wrong?

    I agree, rawhide is bad for most dogs. I never give it to my 2.

    I was told one of my dogs had a murmur by one vet but another could not find it. Something to 'watch' at this point.

    It could also be something called "nose mites" in swedish it´s something they can get at indoor dogshows or otherkinda close contact to dog´s affected with it.This reverse sneezing is one of the most typical symtoms. They treat it here with either a med called stronghold or interceptor pills. Might be an idea to ask your vet to test the dog . If a dog has this he shouldn´t meet other dog´s as it´s very contagious.I read on a swedish dogforum about this and it also said that you could vaccinate them with Ivomec S.

    I can't use the fish oil for my B since he is allergic to fish but I started using olive oil in his food (no nutitional value really) any other suggestions?
