How long your Bs take to recover from bite wounds

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Hi,
    I have been observing one of my girls for a while. She had a few bite wounds throughout her body due to the rough and tumble both of my Bs engaged in. However her wounds take a long time (roughly 2 week or more) to heal. Initially I did nothing, thinking the superficial wounds would heal pretty quickly. I kept brushing my hand over her body daily and I would still encounter the bumps. I applied medical cream over the wound to hasten the recovery process and the wounds healed a few days after I start applying the cream.

    I like to ask how long your Bs take to recover from their bite wounds

  • Mine have always recovered really quick I flush the bite wound if it´s a deeper one with saline or klorhexidine using a syringe twice a day if necessary.Sometimes i´ve put on an aloevera ointment or a special scar preventing cream when scab has been formed.

    Thank you all so much for your posts, they truly helped me a lot. Being my first puppy, it is nice to be reaffirmed that she is just a puppy and that this is normal puppy behavior…. I will definitely continue with the training and try to be more consistent with my approaches. I truly did not think that this was aggression and I'm sorry for the misleading title post; I guess I was involving my own feelings as it has been a little frustrating to say the least. I see how the other puppies are in puppy class, and then there is little Kaya running around barking/yodeling for the entire hour - She is a little diva. Thanks again, and I look forward to continued interactions in this forum!

    Instead of incurring a costly vet bill could you see if there's a vet school in or near your area? I know they would be happy to help. Just a thought.

    No the parents were not. Most of her dogs that have been tested have been negative for fanconi so I figure my chances are good that EL D will be fine.
