Looking for a good vet in Philadelphia!

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • P

    We are picking up our 4-year old Basenji rescue this coming weekend, and I would like to have a vet lined up for him as soon as possible. In my former life, I worked as a vet tech, so I have a good base of knowledge to help me pick out a good practice, but what I don't know is whether there is a practice in this area that has a good deal of experience with Basenjis. Philly and its burbs are home to lots and lots of vet practices, so a little help in narrowing them down would be very helpful. Thanks!

    You might want to watch her carefully in regard to her food, treats, and whatever she eats when you're not looking. Then change one by one to see if the diarrhea is indeed because of the particular brand of food.

    Though my dogs have not had a reaction to a vaccine, I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to vaccines. I would rather give a benadryl to help prvent a reaction then wait and hope for the best. I say this because my cat had a severe vaccine reaction after his rabies shot. Within 20 minutes of the shot he was vomiting, the hair at the vaccination site fell out and the site became swollen. We had to rush him back to the vet to be treated for the reaction.

    Your dog suffered a similar injury, although not from ppoping, but that agrivated it. We had him on similar meds and it has been about a month now and he seems fine. No damage to his spine. Hope all goes well with your little Jet!
