Very cute! I can see why you love that face!

Thank you for all the advice. We are bringing in Arrow to see the vet on Saturday, so I'll see what type of cushings disease he has. We had a previous basenji, Teka, who passed from kidney disease. It was terrible seeing her lose weight and her appetite. She's still with us in spirit and we think of her often.

He is very cute! Basenjis are a lot of fun.

You can't get any cuter than this. Happy Birthday Gossip and Teddy!

That is too cute!

Sally - Wishing you a speedy recovery!

She is so cute! Have a great time with Lila!

What a cute boy and his raincoat too! He looks much like my brindle basenji, Arrow!

Very Cute!

Beautiful! Dino reminds me of Teka, my basenji that passed in 2017.

He's beautiful! Basenjis are always that way when they're sleeping. Ha ha!

That is too cute!

Very Cute!

Thanks for sharing - good to know!

Our basenji, Arrow, appears to be doing fine on the medication. However, we read that the average life span for a dog diagnosed with cushings disease is two years. We will give him a wonderful life as long as possible.

Thank you so much for the information! I went to Kroger and asked if I could get the medication there. They said they only provide dog medications that humans also use. I mentioned to her that humans also get cushings disease, but she said they don't offer the medication for pets. I will check around at independent pharmacies and see if I can obtain it elsewhere. Thanks again.

Thanks. I was surprised that the medication costs $80 for a 30-day supply. But, I'll certainly pay it to keep our basenji as healthy as possible.

My 11-year old basenji, Arrow, was just diagnosed with Cushing Disease and was put on medication. Is this a common illness for a basenji?
