    hi folks…has anyone noticed that after their boy basenji is neutered he has a problem with controlling his pee? felakuti is peeing now when he gets excited or in the morning he has trouble controlling it until he goes outside. he was neutered a week and a half ago.

    Hi there…could it be the meds that he's on for the neuter?? I know it took my boy a while to get the potty training down. And he's usually our dog that needs to be let out multiple times a day for a pee break. Our girl is different she can hold it for hours on end it seems.

    Keep trying to work with him it could just be an adjustment issue.

    I have never had a problem with boys after being neutered… but since it has only been a week and 1/2 could be that he is still healing....

    But again, I have never had that problem. If it continues I would certainly talk to your Vet..,

    He actually does go in our other dog's crate to steal food and my wife actually caught him laying down in the bed in it. Nothing is ever impossible. We did try crating him for a short car ride and he chewed through his lead trying to escape.

    Behavioral difference depend on the dog, the age the dog is neutered and other factors. Lots of studies on the topic but mostly you avoid the heightened mating response to other dogs in heat and chance breeding. Behaviorally, effects are generally not that much otherwise.

    When in doubt see the vet. Animals can be good at seeming not in pain when they are.

    @MacPack: We are in Florida and some years fleas are terrible in the summer. We use either Advantage or Frontline when we start to see a few fleas, and re-apply when we start to see fleas again, usually about every 6 weeks through the summer and fall. I have used it on an 18 year old with no problems. I feel that the problems fleas can cause outweigh the occasional use of a fairly benign chemical, and certainly keep the dogs more comfortable! If we lived where fleas were not a big problem, I would try some of the more natural remedies. Anne in Tampa You have an 18 year old? Wow how is he or she doing? I had a Tri color many years ago live to be 17-1/2.

    Totally unrelated. Jabari, I can't tell you how it warms my heart to hear "aloha" and "mahalo". Oh warm and fuzzies :) My family is still on Maui as my little sis is only in high school. Our Riley is getting the big snip in probably about 10 days. Poor little guy. I think it's the non-laser kind. We haven't had a comprehensive exam w/ the new vet yet but she comes highly recommended from a breeder out here. I just wish she accepted AKC's comped vet visit certificate you get for registering :/
