So I wanted to give an update on Moko. So no issues found during his physical exam, he responded well to all tests given and the doctor thinks it could be petite mal seizures, blood sugar was normal. Told us to keep a diary of food, meds, and try to video if it happens again, take note of the length of the event. Gave us information about acupuncture/cold therapy. I also asked about Chiropractic adjustment and was told some patients reported good results but didn't seem to keen on it. Told me to make sure to verify if the person giving adjustments had proper training, was the person a DVM. In all honesty Moko does love to play rough and when he gets the zoomies he will launch himself into the couch, also loves to wrestle with others dogs at the park. Since his last episode he's only had walks in the neighborhood, and he's been driving me crazy. So last night I took him to the park to be off leash and he was super pumped to run and play with his dog park pack, he ran a lot. Thankfully no rough stuff and no issues since. Just a tired and happy basenji. I also was given the name of a neurologist to see if these episodes continue. When he's had these 2 episodes there was no loss of bladder control and he came to shortly after we just tried to calm him down. Thank you so much for the response's I really appreciate everyone's input.

RE: Dealing with mouth ulcers/gum inflammation
Yes, I am working with my vet as we speak. I was just reaching out to other basenji owners to hear there experience. I wasn’t planning treatment based on supposition and guess work.

RE: Basenji park habits with other dogs question
@jengosmonkey TY for the reply. I usually do keep an eye on him and unfortunately I stepped in too late. It was my fault for not recognizing his posture. For whatever reason anytime this puppy has come to the park Moko has just been mean to him and I don't understand why. Other pups have come to the park with no other aggressive posture. I don't want to have to have to neuter him, and honestly I've heard that doesn't really help.

RE: Vomiting white foam
@2baroos
He does have access to grass, no cough though. The vomiting happened days apart. -
RE: Dealing with mouth ulcers/gum inflammation
My breeder’s daughter is a vet tech and mentioned CUPS as well. Thanks for the links, I’ll read up on this. I’ll post more once I hear from my vet. My original concern when I posted was that he was throwing up after I gave him his antibiotics with food. I’ve contacted the vet and was told to stop the meds until I can get him back in to be looked at. I appreciate your response.
