Found this site while looking for homephysio ideas for Miss Bliss.
We are happy to have a place to share our experiences as we don't do Facebook etc.
We live in Canada and I will post pictures of my little missy when I figure out how.
Happy Easter from B and Bliss

RE: Food
@mikesull Is your dog crated in the car.
A well secured crate is the safest way for a dog to travel.
Might give your dog a sense of security. -
RE: Two Heat cycles??? OR something more serious?
Miss Bliss came to us two years ago at two years old.
Was informed she wouldn't I into heat until september or October.
She went into heat in April and then again in October.
Perhaps this is just an occasional happening for two year olds or maybe
it's global warming! In year three she had 1heat in the fall nd then was spayed.Four weeks ago she escaped, was hit and broke her leg.
5 more weeks of crate living for Miss Bliss. -
RE: Brain Games for a Basenji?
Miss Bliss received a puzzle similar as a get well gift.
It has given her something to do during the long hours in the crate.
The toy was designed in Sweden and made in China of (dog smart wood)!?
I think it is a bamboo plastic. Anyway, it is removed from her crate once the goodies are gone. I don't trust anything that goes in a mouth, human or canine,
that comes from China. Fortunately, I have been able to get all her gear,
except for a harness I recently purchased that required altering.
Back to bones. A lot of those greasy bones come from China. Beware -
RE: A few pink areas plus paw licking: allergies?
Milk bones?
I know of a group of Basenjis that are totally allergic to them.
Miss Bliss will take one then spit it out so , no worries there.
For kibble she eats Purina Pro plan as recommended by the breeder.
When she first arrived I switched her(gradually) to Acana.
She became lethargic and her coat lost colour and sheen.
Was advised by a vet to get her off.
I did, and not gradually. Within a couple of weeks her energy was back and her coat was better. No more messing around with fancy food.
She gets her diet supplemented with raw meet and eggs. -
RE: The Art of Basenjis in the Rain
Miss Bliss finds water falling from the sky abhorrent.
When forced out for the (pre-pandemic) walk before work and it was raining,
she was very quick about her business. Well, at least the pee part.
Sometimes that we enough for her before she'd turn around and head for home.
We are now in week four since she was hit and broke her right front leg.
She went four days in a row twice without pooping until we went to the vets.
Not constipated, just stubborn. She is becoming a very good patient.
T
he last two days she has done her business easily and quickly.
She is escorted out when she says it is time.
You all know what I'm saying.
Back to the ladies amateur golf.
Stay safe out there

RE: Puppy Vaccines ?
We live in Ontario, Canada where in recent years deer ticks have also made their home. Miss Bliiss's breeder has advised me to vaccinate for lyme disease.
I personally know of three dogs I the neighborhood that have been diagnosed with lyme. Apparently it is easier to treat dogs then humans.
Is lyme disease an issue I the UK? -
RE: IBS in basenji
@branch I know of a lot of Basenjis that eat chicken.
Including Miss Bliss. However, as with humans, allergies are individual.Bliss loves raw chicken legs, that are no problem, but, cooked chicken gives her the runs.
Hope this helps.

RE: Puppy injured after Resource guarding towards another dog
Bliss has not been to a park in a very long time.
Park shutdowns ,then winter and now recovery.
That said, she does enjoy the park, though more often then not, after visiting with all the people, unless the whippet is there, she just moves into the middle of the
park, sits down and observes. There have been occasions where other dogs have been aggressive and she mostly ignores them.
When at home and another dog is here, she shares everything.
Her dog pals often go home her bone.Now, having said all that, when I took her for her first short walk after two months of confinement she growled and lunged at the first dog we encountered.
Told her tsktsk and sit and that was that. But, I'm a bit concerned.
Will she continue to be so magnanimous?
Time will tell. -

@zande Sure thing Zande.
I'll find a president picture as she's kinda chunked up a bit.
Me too. Missing our two long walks a day and our play sessions. -
RE: New to Basenji forums
@elbrant Really it was a big bandage. Her right leg has a plate and six screws.
Also, she lost a toenail that may or may not grow back.
She finished the Gabapentin yesterday and seems fine.
Gabapentin is for nerve and chronic pain.
