Severe PPM

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • I am buying a 4 month old puppy with PPM and it is bad enough that he has a cloudy blue eye. It is from a reputable breeder and the eye doc says both eyes are visual and should improve with age. I'm just wondering if anyone out there has had a dog with blue eyes as a puppy. He has iris to iris, iris to cornea, mad iris sheets, especially in the one eye. I just don't know what problems could pop up down the road and wonder if anyone else has any experience with adult dogs who once were as severe as this one.

  • I have also no experience with serve PPM.

  • One of my Basenjis has always had issues with vomiting and seems sensitive to food coloring and food with beef in it. You might need to play with his food some to see if it is better, assuming the vet doesn't find an obstruction. We also find that feeding them twice a day helped mine keep her food down.

    @Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.

    Had you opened a new bag around the time this started? Sometimes they change ingredients or suppliers of ingredients, which is the way an allergen can sneak in....

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!
