Issue?

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • My 8 yrs male basenji gives me heart attack once in a while. He all of sudden acts like he is drunk. He cant stand still or walk straight. He moans while in this condition. After about 8 or 10 minutes he walks away normal. Im really worried. I m going to get him tested but has anyone experienced that?

  • Sorry to hear of your Basenjis problem, you are right to get him checked out as soon as possible. Let us know how he gets on.

  • This could possibly be a minor epileptic attack. I have seen a video of many forms of these attacks (no basenjis) many of them very different and this was an example.

    A canine neurologist could confirm.

    Nope.... not in my opinion....not atypical. especially if these pups come for BYB or Millers.... That said, Giardia is not uncommon nor is a pup with a UTI.... In regards to Giardia, I wonder if these pups shown symptoms when still with the breeder?

    @Abaihya think you need a new Vet, no way should the Thyroid blood test be that price.... They draw the blood and it is sent out....

    I was only recommending a shampoo to use in the future, not one that would clear up any skin problems. If the dog has allergies, she needs to be careful about what kind of general shampoo to use. Jennifer

    You know, at his age (and in my opinion) any elder dog, the goal is to get them to eat and keep them eating… so I don't stress out about kcal's too much particularly since I use Vit Supplements.

    Never mind. I just read another thread that answered that question. I will pick up some diastix from Walmart. I don't really think it is a possiblity that she could develop Fanconi's since she is a half B but it won't hurt to occasionally test her urine because I would feel awful if something happened to her and I could've done something. Thanks again.
