Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • @zande said in Tapeworm:

    Since (in my experience) Basenjis always eat the head of a rabbit first, I'd love to know the answer to this one too !

    Here, they always eat the head last so I did get it from her. We have tan, rather than gray squirrels, so maybe the heads taste different?(I do not expect an answer, preferring to get away from this subject!)

    All I did was pray she wouldn't puncture the eyes!

    This begs me to ask... aside from the "ewww, gross" factor, is there a reason you were concerned about potential eyeball puncturing?

    Just the grossness factor. Very few things make me sick just to see but I think that might be one.

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @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.

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂
