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.

    Urrggh sorry for the slow reply, the forum doesn't send me any notifications and it's so quiet I don't bother to check it regularly. Has he made any progress? If not, It sounds like you need to get an MRI done for Grady which may reveal more than the xray.

    @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.

    @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

    I agree with Nemo - as long as a dog's immune system isn't compromised they are unlikely to pick up diseases easily. They can eat the most disgusting things and aren't affected. I know mine eat all sorts of objectionable things whenever they can and are perfectly healthy.
