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.

    Thank you all so much for your posts, they truly helped me a lot. Being my first puppy, it is nice to be reaffirmed that she is just a puppy and that this is normal puppy behavior…. I will definitely continue with the training and try to be more consistent with my approaches. I truly did not think that this was aggression and I'm sorry for the misleading title post; I guess I was involving my own feelings as it has been a little frustrating to say the least. I see how the other puppies are in puppy class, and then there is little Kaya running around barking/yodeling for the entire hour - She is a little diva. Thanks again, and I look forward to continued interactions in this forum!

    Treating heartworm infected dogs.. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?A=610 No offense intended, but the Beloved Bulldogs site was not written by a vet and seems a bit dated to me. Having had a dog treated for heartworm years ago, believe me the arsenic treatments can be dangerous and painful. (See above link)

    Typically I have also advised those with dogs that 'appear' to have fanconi but are not basenjis or are mixes - to also have their vet fax the labs to Steve Gontos - he seems to have a handle on the chemistry of the disease in general that is helpful to those no B people

    Well, your precious ones only have to have a rabies booster once every 3 years! Please tell all your friends in Wichita about the ordinance change – the newspaper buried the announcement in other animal-related information, I'm sure many pet owners in the city don't have a clue that they no longer have to booster every year.

    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.
