Canine Thyroid Carcinoma in my 8 1/2 y/o Basenji

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • S

    My boy has been diagnosed very recently with a rare form of cancer, Canine Thyroid Carcinoma, which accounts for only about 1% of all tumors in dogs. He's being treated by an oncologist and internist and the prognosis is actually very good. With surgery to remove half his thyroid and radiation treatment he will make a full recovery. I post this because we caught this early only because he had a really bad bladder infection that required blood work. If you want more info on his story, see his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/HelpUsSaveLeroy. Also we want to hear from anyone that has had to deal with this issue as well to find out how the treatments went and so forth.

    actually there was a discussion on the Clean Run groups about cooling coats. I know CR sell several different types and CR is very good about testing what they sell.

    So many of those poses and positions are the same things I see Paco do. I'm also no expert, and Paco's my first dog that's mine-all-mine for me to watch all the time, but I feel like Tag's face is very Basenji-like…and if he yodels as well... if he doesn't have Basenji in him, I'd at least say you could describe him to others as a Basenji-like dog.

    The good thing is she is crate trained. Nika was not so it made it more difficult. She slept on the couch and I had to put the cushions in plastic garbage bags and then a water proof mattress pad on that as a few times she peed in the middle of the night and I would hear her yelp like she was upset for having done that and jump off the couch. I would just remove and replace the sheet, comfort her and tell her it's OK and put her back on the couch to go back to sleep.
