Vet needed Toronto

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Hi,

    I'm purchasing a Basenji this upcoming weekend. I'm currently looking for a vet in Toronto that has experience with the breed. Does anyone know of any good vets in the Toronto area?

    Thanks,

    Matt

  • Who are you getting your Basenji from, many of us are related by our Basenjis pedigree

  • Check with the breeder.
    They can most likely give you the name of a vet in your area.

  • My Breeder has been very very helpful but the vets that she is familiar with are 1-2 hours from Toronto. I was hoping to find one in Toronto that may be familiar with Basenjis or willing to work with and learn about them.

  • He's getting my Frankie, Pat. While I know outside the TO area, I don't know of anyone directly inside TO. We will just have to start interviewing the vets in his area. Matthew can interview them first and I can always do a phone interview. We are racing this weekend, so there may be someone there that may know of someone closer. It was just worth a shot in case someone on the forum lived closer to Matthew.

  • @mattymo hi, did you happen to find a vet near Toronto that has basenji experience?

    @nick4 Sounds like an allergy or something biting him. For sure the vets and see what they say. Benadryl for sure, as far as I know it does no harm if you dose correctly.

    I'm puzzled because if she has the correct pliant skin for a Basenji, it would get fewer wrinkles if she was too fat. I stand to be corrected here but thats what happens to mine!! I think she looks very good and that she has no need to lose any weight. Her coat is gleaming. Congratulations to you for keeping her in such lovely condition! I've only ever had to remove ticks from our collies - the Basenjis have never had one but I can understand that you feel the need to give medicine but personally I only give conventional medicine to a Basenji if I (and my vet) consider it totally necessary.

    Patty, I can't see why not. It shouldn't be given every day, but now and then. And it should NOT be replaced with their regular food. Eggs have lots of good protein, and it's also a good source for riboflavin, B12 and phosphorus, and even selenium. I've seen only a few dog food brands with riboflavin in it, and I believe it's an important deal for dogs, as well for us humans.
