Cypress Animal Hospital, Florida

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • We've taken our B's to Cypress Animal Hospital for over 15 years. Dr. Adey is Basenji savvy and he has a wonderful way of telling you what's going on without making you feel like an idiot. What's even better, he's one of the only AAHA Certified vets in the Winter Haven area and his staff is AMAZING. When I call in and give them my name they go "oh the basenji family!". When Bandit was ill Dr. Adey did everything possible for our buddy.. he even made it possible for us to have the medication Bandit needed even if we couldn't afford it. He was a very good vet for Bandit and after he passed on Dr. Adey sent us a card and flowers. It was very special and we always appreciate everything he does for us. We'd never take Mali anywhere else!!!

  • It's great to hear a good review of a vet! We know of an excellent emergency/specialty clinic in Largo, a Dr. Oswald , Internist, is amazing and very kind and compassionate. We have had a couple of basenjis over the years that needed his skills, I recommend him if anyone in the Tampa/St. Pete area needs a specialist.

    @Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can. Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.

    @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. 😂

    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!

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284
