Hi, my basenji and I recently moved back to LA from San Diego. I've already been back to SD twice to see my vet down there (Dr. Goetz at Animal Care Clinic is the BEST) but I really should find a vet up here. Can anyone recommend a great vet (who's familiar with B's) in the West LA/LAX/South Bay?

Thanks!

Bully sticks are just baked rawhide. Antlers are tougher and the mniscule amounts of antler that can be chewed up in a day shouldn't rile up a sensitve tummy.

Have you tried "moo tubes"? They're bovine trachea and more digestible than skin, whether in rawhide or bully stick form.

As with any dog toy, check ountry of origin and avoid non-domestc produced.

Sounds like it makes sense. I guess I was giving them too much. Just wonder if anybody else ran into this. Nika had too many bladder infections. Every time I saw her squatting a lot I thought "oh no not another infection". If they get a bladder infection you'll know if you see them squatting a lot. Then just get a small jar and catch some when they pee and if the urine is cloudy it's probably a bladder infection.

I agree, rawhide is bad for most dogs.
I never give it to my 2.

Well, your precious ones only have to have a rabies booster once every 3 years! Please tell all your friends in Wichita about the ordinance change – the newspaper buried the announcement in other animal-related information, I'm sure many pet owners in the city don't have a clue that they no longer have to booster every year.

Q

@lvoss:

The reason for the differing information is because of the differing organizations that do testing. I am not sure about testing in Australia but in the US there are two different organizations that do hip testing, as far as I know only one that does elbows. OFA the organization that does both hips and elbows in the US requires that the dog be at least 24 months old before they will issue a registration number but you can get a preliminary evaluation after 12 months of age. PennHip which I believe is more like the system in Australia, does their hip evaluations as early as, I believe, 4 months old.

Actually, OFA will do a preliminary eval as early as four months of age…but you can't get a published preliminary rating until 12 mos; and as you stated no OFA number until 24 mos.
