Thank you all soooo much! You are so kind and I'm happy that I have your help
I already read and I have these two books:

Raw and Natural Nutrition for Dogs: The Definitive Guide to Homemade Meals - Lew Olson
Raw Dog Food: Make It Easy for You and Your Dog Raw Dog Food - Carina Beth Macdonald

From first one a learned a lot.

So, I will go to another Vet and hope that I would be lucky enough to find it better then previous
If not I will keep on searching

For Umbical Herina I hope that this shouldn't be a problem; I massage her often and after that she is gone…
Today I add her some raw turkey and she loved it She haven't be crazy about her food since she came; I didn't change anything. She been fed by the same kibble from kennel but she never ate everything
She likes yogurt though.

I suppose that I need to grind chicken backs and necks till she grows up? Or is it good enough just to chop in smaller pieces?

Also she don't have full black nose yet...some breeders told me that this is common and should soon fill with black What do you think?

@curlytails - yes, I now all about correct proportion RMBs, meat, organs, eggs, and supplements…I really have educated myself about all of this. But this Vet really upset me...she tried to explain to me how a dog wasn't suppose eat raw :S, how I'm risking her life. How dog that live in apartment are different metabolism from ones that live on village ?!? That dog are not supposed to eat meat! That dog are all eater like pigs!! :mad:

I know that everything can happen but I also know that raw bones aren't dangerous, only cooked ones. But I couldn't explain that to this Vet

As far as umbilical hernia goes I also know that is very rare that it needs to be "fixed" immediately" but she happens to cough me unprepared...she really frighten me. Awwww, I'm really mad at her
But I will go to another vet that has educated in USA and hopefully he will know about Basenjis little bit more, so I will see what he will tell me. Breeder was all friendly about it. He told me to massage her and that it should go away

Thanks, please send me links

And yes, I'll go for 2nd opinion on Monday…but here is hard to find one who is familiar with Basenji beed :S

Hi, please help I need your advice as experienced raw Basenji feeders
I got my Basenji girl yesterday and she is on kibble at the moment (she will be 10 weeks on Monday)…so I am planning to switch her on raw feeding. I've red two books about it and I can't wait to start BUT I went to veterinarian today and she sock me with some (stupid) advices; first of all I'm from Croatia and here this is still strange feeding :S
So, she tried to convince me NOT to feed raw; she said that there are 2-3 dogs per month who needs operation because feeding with bones :S and that this is dangerous! That chicken bones are dangerous...That I need a lot of supplements if I decide to do that..vitamins and calcium! I now for fish oil, some veggie bulk and eggs, garlic, apple vinegar..but calcium!

Also, she said that I need to go on urgent operation for umbilical hernia but I found out from friend of mine (Tisa thanks) that this is common for Basenjis

Please, give me advice about it. I suppose that all of this is not true?!

Thanks tanza!! :p
…I couldn't sleep last night because of that

Hi again, here a some new photos

I'm going to pick her up on Friday …we are so excited and happy!

But, I'm worried about her nose (it isn't entirely black jet)
It is better then 2 weeks ago, but it's a small amount that is still pink. Should I be worried, or it would go black soon?

Yes, I saw it
I hope Loa have litter this year too

@ampabra:

please check first if there is any demand for basenjis in your area.

Thanks
I'll take it slow. This isn't like I'm going to have litter every year
Mail point is to have girl and a boy, to have them as part of my family. When we decide to have a litter we'll register kennel and do it under FCI. What I'm trying to do is to create web site about Basenjis in Croatian where anyone who will be interested in a breed can learn about it on this web site.
Yesterday I found out that there would be a litter this year in Croatia, so after all I'm not the only one

Thanks all of you for your lovely words

Tisa, I can't wait to meet you and your Loa!!

As I talk to breeder yesterday we will go to Austria 4th or 5th March to pick her up. So it's 21 day to go
…it seems so long :o

Success

Hi again, today I received a few new photos I would like to share

I'm in love!!

If vet examination and vaccination would be finished till 25th of February we will have her on February 26th :D:D:D
I so hope that we will. It is hard to wait!

I don't know how to insert picture into the post so I'll add all in my photo album :rolleyes:
