Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

Poor baby! Zest says she'd like to sign his cast. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the rest of the story. So sorry that you're going through so many things at the same time.
I must say the pic you posted is adorable. I can just hear him saying…"look how cute I am and by the way I'm injured and you need to wait on me hand and foot.... when I limp I need sympathy, and I'll keep limping well beyond feeling better until you catch on....tell the other 4-leggers I'm the center of attention for the time being….don't try to figure it out daddy, s#!t happens sometimes", after all, we are Basenji's".

Poor little guy, all he needs is an eye patch and a little parrot on his shoulder. Is his foot inside the splint too?

Ha, ha, ha…I just need BDawg to make the props.
yes, the splint covers his foot (on that original pic it was almost completely covered). The last 2 splints actually have his toes out a little more. When he walks on the floor though, it sounds like he is wearing a tap shoe! lol -

This is the standing joke with my kids breeder - he'll be looking for the splint and putting it on long after he is healed - he'll be so spoiled. LOL

Nicky plays up the poor pitiful me until he realizes that he is missing out on all the good walks then he is ready to be all better, right now!
-
I can not believe it, poor little guy. He looks like a trooper though, sitting there so cool with his cast.
-
Aww, poor Brando! So sorry about his mishap, but glad it is going well. Don't worry, you did everything fine. We can't baby them 100% and put them in a little bubble. Sometimes life just throws them a little curveball and you have to roll with the punches. They can certainly get hurt in their crate too, so you never know.
In the meantime, I'm sure he will be spoiled rotten!
-
Just wondering how Brando is doing. Hope all is well.

He looks so adorable! I'm sorry for the mishap…Keep us posted on his progress...

I was wondering about him too….let us know

Thanks Snorky & Andrea for asking about Brando. My time on the forum is fleeting these days as my hands are full - as you can imagine.
Anyway, Brando is doing really well. He's now into his 3rd week of recovery. He got a really good report on his last visit to the vet (last Wednesday) - his wound where the bone went thru the skin is completely healed and he has finished his full course of antibiotics so infection worries are significantly less. Because the wound has healed, he now only has to have his splint changed once per week, yay - also great because it was $50 each time - every little bit helps.
I'm still giving him a sedative to keep him quiet, but not quite as often. He did manage to unstuff his splint yesterday, so I restuffed it, retaped it and then put tea tree oil on it - he wouldn't look at me the rest of the day. :rolleyes:
He has another vet appointment tomorrow and then the following week has follow-up xrays. He's been coming to work with me since he broke his leg (my boss approved it) - he is the hit of the office and of downtown Portland. Lots of visitors to my office and while he is out on the street - he is quite the little love bug, so he is soaking up all the attention. :D:D
Here's his latest pic (sleeping in my office):
-
Good to hear that things are moving along. He looks so darned cute all layed up in cast and all..glad your boss approved of him coming with, makes it easier for you and him..
-
That picture is so sweet…with his little peg leg and all. Glad to hear he is healing well. How much fun that he is the hit of the town of Portland! Fingers crossed for continued progress...please keep us updated.
-
Oh, what a sweet pic…poor guys....glad he is doing better! Keep up the good healing, Brando.
-
Glad Brando is on the mend! What a lucky duck getting to come to work.
-
Brando sends thanks to everyone for their well wishes!
Another great vet appointment today - no sores at all under his splint/bandage, wound is completely healed, and he doesn't have to go back for 2 weeks (providing the new splint/bandage last that long). The next appointment will be the acid test - xrays - but the vet seems to think he is doing extremely well and would be surprised if we find any problem.
Yay, Brando - here he is right now in his new blue wrap.
-
Awesome news for Brando..he is stylin' in his new cast..;)
-
Good to hear Brando is doing so well!
He looks so cute in the pics.. 
-
I'm loving the pictures. Also imaging what it'd be like with Kananga in the office. I think he'd end up sitting next to the Xerox most of the day. Anything making noise deserves attention.
I'm glad Brando is healing up well. Poor guy has to wait to do B-500s for awhile.
