Basenji Health Issues & Questions

    Hi everyone, I was not sure where to post this, so, sorry, if this is not the most appropriate place. I am working with friends on a project to help improve lives and lower the abandonment rate of dogs. It's called Edumal (EDUcating our aniMALs) and was inspired by the rescue dog Magu. Can you help us with our information collecting? We have a short 7 question survey. You will receive a 20% voucher for online dog training through our project website, EduMal.tv
    Every little bit counts!

    Survey title: Dog Training to Improve the Lives of Dogs

    https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7ZLMJS5

    Thank you for your help!
    Woof! Woof!

    There is little data or studies regarding Medical Marijauna used in Animals for an alternative modality for treatment of any kind. One Article is simply not enough. I have considered trying the CBD Cream for my Back pain. There have been many studies regarding Medical Marijauna for treating Auto-Immune Diseases such as MS. One Vendor is 'Charlotte's Web' and their products are legal in all of the 50 states. I would not treat my Dog with Cancer with this stuff because it is a topical and we do not know if applying it to the Dog's skin will irritate the Cancer. Good luck and you may try feeding your Dog Vegtarian Dog Food because animal flesh and Fish encourages the growth of Cancer. My Antigone had a Carcinoma when she was 12. I had it removed and changed her diet to a Vegetarian and she lived to be 16 years old. Diet in my experience is the best way to manage a Dog or Cat with Cancer. Good luck! A

    @smharr4: I also have a Care Credit card (http://www.carecredit.com/) which will allow me to pay the bill at the vet immediately, then I can just transfer the money between bank accounts (which takes a few days) so the Care Credit card is payed off before any interest accrues. At least one of our local vets also has a 'promissory note' payment scheme where you pay half when you pick up your pet then spreads the rest out over 3-4 months, that can come in handy too sometimes. Thanks for the tip. I will ask my vet if he has any 'promissory note' scheme. That sounds good, and…yes it would come in handy!

    Insurance is really popular here and for good reason. Lycia's random medical spill cost me around 15,000 dollars. I WISH I had sprung for the insurance then..

    I don't give my boy rawhide after all the bad stories I have heard. He will sometimes get a bully stick to chew or a greenie but only when I am around & can monitor him with those. Usually he will get frozen marrow bones on his crate during the day instead.
