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!
Wheezing , no energy or thirst
-
My 9 week old basenji started wheezing and will only eat and drink the smallest amount. We got her 1 week ago and she was a bundle of energy, but now just sleeps 95% of the time.
The vet said that the wheezing was normal and her heart and chest were fine , but it is worst and the energy and appetite lost is worrying me. -
Does not sound at all normal. See another vet!
-
My girl sometimes wheezes and gets out of breath from overexcitement (like the first few times she encountered our cat). But I agree with eeeefarm; the change in appetite and sleep patterns is worrying. Take her for a second opinion!
-
Have you spoken to the breeder? Did the Vet you took her to do a blood panel? I would agree, see a different Vet sooner than later.
-
Go to another Vet! This is NOT normal !
-
This is not normal and you need to find a new vet ASAP.
-
A nine week old Basenji should be a ball of energy, I would find another vet ASAP. Sounds very much like your puppy is ill.
-
did not see this until now, no update on condition, but I would get a new vet, Id go to an emergency vet place, poos little guy is probably dehydrated, which can cause organ damage, and probably has kennel cough or something similar, I fear for the worse if no action is taken immediately.
