Severe PPM

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • B

    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.

    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.

    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!

    @tanza: Xalatan is used for Glaucoma (lowing eye pressure) among other things That's correct. I actually used a brand from COSTCO called Travatan which is a little cheaper, $65 for 4mil that does the same thing. 2 drops/day lasts about 5 weeks. A friend got me the same brand a few times from Mexico for $30, half the cost.
