Our 6 yr old rescued "Basenji mix", Curly Sue, was recently and surprisingly diagnosed with Addison's Disease. We have it under control now, but she takes prednisone every day and a shot every 3 weeks. Is this known in Basenjis or just a fluke?
There are some indications of hereditary factor,s but all dogs, including mixes, can have it. Good luck on Curly Sue staying healthy and having it found early.
I had nose surgery a few months ago and when I got home I was worried the dogs would be so excited and jump all on me, but it was crazy how mild mannered and dare I say tame/domesticated they were. I swear they knew I was hurt and gave me a day or so of good behavior. They are truly great dogs to own!
Isis is darling! By all means do a 'well baby' visit with your vet, and order the DNA swab for fanconi, huge peace of mind. I had a wonderful Isis many years ago, I love the name!
@Schouiffy:
Hehe. I know…

Especially when we come home. Complete with the "lightswitch" tail flick and happy feet dance!
