Please make sure your Basenji is on flea, tick, and heart worm protection. With as much rain as we have had in many parts of the country, this could really have an effect on the number or ticks and fleas there are early in the season.
@zande - That is so true Zande, when you have a pack of bitches, the one "low" on the totem pole may be the last to come in heat in many cases... "want a be's" many times will come in first... depends on the pack.
@etzbseder:
While we're at this, when they are neutered, how long do you have to keep them from licking? Can they lick in 4 days? or do you have to wait like 7-8 or what?
Not till the incision is well on the way to be healed (which would mean the incision is closed..)…. 4 days is not long enough... IMO
