Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • B

    My female pup is 3 1/2 months old and has a large hernia that is hard and seems like it is getting larger. It is really worrying me so I plan on making an appointment to get it fixed asap. I was wondering if she is too young to go under anesthesia?
    I have a year old male with a hernia but never had any pissues and he has never gone under so I am nerous

    I, too, would have the umbilical hernia fixed when she is spayed. In fact, that's exactly what we did when Blaze was neutered last month at 6 months of age (we are not going to do any sports activities with him such as lure coursing, so waiting until his growth plates were closed wasn't a concern).

    @BasenjiMaya: Thank you for the help. I really appreciate everyone's input. Our plan is to have her spayed so we'll see if the vet can take care of the hernia then. (We'd love to breed her, but I just don't think we would be able to put in the care and planning with breeding. But Basenji's are so adorable, it's hard to say no to breeding.) It is pretty simple to have it fixed with spay… and as far as breeding there is lots that goes into it along with planning and care..and finding the right homes and being prepared to care for those pups for their lifetime... especially money.... so I think you are making the wise decision

    As our Basenjis age we are all confronted with their care… there are tough decisions to be made for sure.. we can all only do what we can to make the remaining time they have with us the best possible.. and not going to extreme measures is many times the most kindest thing we can do... and just make sure they are comfortable .... been there, done that... not easy... but I know that the best care that was in my opinion was given....
