I think you definately have a dog with lots of basenji in him and the behavior and face are a dead give away! Advice…crate the dog before it gets out of hand!

Hello all,
I was thru hell and back this week as Rafi was diagnosed with terminal renal failure-probably due to Fanconi. He is 9 years old and my second pure bred basenji. I never even knew about this problem until this week. We have him on the Fanconi regemin now and he has improved in his appetite and he smells better. Who knew?
My mail vet was a complete let down but the emergency clinic has been great, along with two other vet who have helped with consulting.
We are making him great food, giving him the antacid 2x a day, finishing up the amoxicillin, giving fish oils, 100ml of subcut. fluids daily and ordered the sodium bicarbonate tabs to start as well.
Any other advice or input is welcome! Rafi's mom…;-(
