Agree with tanza, it's not good to overdo pain meds. An animal that doesn't feel the warning signal is far more likely to cause themselves harm. We want to protect them from discomfort, but at times that is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

Hey! Welcome to the forum!

Hello el, welcome to the forum
-
Glad to have you here with us, El. This is the greatest place to meet people who have lots of information on basenjis. So good to see you are doing research before picking a dog.

I am hopeful you will be able to be in touch with some folks from NC.
I am sure BRAT has some folks with b's…www.brescue@wavecable.com -
Welcome! Dive in and read some threads on funny stories, and on behavior, and health too of course. We all think basenjis are just the best things ever, but they are not for everyone. You need a great sense of humor, secure closet doors, energy and stamina, and did I mention a sense of humor? If you are proud to be outsmarted by your dog, and even brag about it, basenjis may be for you!
Check BCOa for breeders in your area, I believe there are some great ones in the NC/Virginia area. It's worth a long drive to get a good dog from a reputable breeder.
