My 11 yr old basenji Jaberi has been diagnosed with diabetes. I had taken him to a vet in Stockton for health certificate to fly. I thought while I'm here I'll get his senior check up. They drew blood a couple of days later vet calls says everything is fine Cholesterol was slightly elevated. Nothing to worry about that was in May. I moved to Houston in mid June and because of temperatures being above 86 I couldn't fly him. I finally had to have a service that transports animal bring. Long story short it about a month before I got him back. He was so skinny I cried I thought somebody was not feeding him. My son assured me he was well taken care of. So I thought maybe he was stressed out he's never away from me this long. Well took him to a vet out her. She got his records his blood sugar was 400 back in May. I have to give him 2 shots a day and he now getting cataracts.
Does anyone experience this or have any advice? He has never been sick ever in 11 yrs.

RE: Silent Basenji
Mine 10 yr old male doesn’t make very little noise. Never yodels but if he’s anxious he make
a kinda growling/talking sound. If other people are around they stare at him. I tell they he’s just expressing himself. -

Providence Vet Clinic in Alameda is good. She has experience with Basenjis. Alameda is only the tube away.
