    • RE: Cushings Disease

      Mine was diagnosed with pituitary cushing's in Dec 2015. I lost him October 2020 and it was to something completely unrelated to cushing's. He never had issues with anything related to cushing's except a gall bladder mucocele easily treated with an inexpensive medication. There are exceptions to the two year average. Yours may be another exception 😊

    • RE: Brat Rescue and Transport; How they really treat rescues

      @dagodingo said in Brat Rescue and Transport; How they really treat rescues:

      @elbrant Evidently she doesn’t know that I snapshot and copy each post lmao. Been doing it since the first defamatory post.

      She also can’t figure out with that pea brain, that her deleted posts are all recoverable permanently. Along with the logs Alex has.

      The thread will be removed, might take him a couple of days.

      give it to the president, seriously, I don't care. I deleted them because it kind of dawned on me that if you want to go, we can go, but not appropriate on this forum

    • RE: unpredictable behaviour

      there was a couple that was using the command dominant type of training to make their dog stop doing what they didn't like. the more they did it, the more aggressive the dog became, until he started biting every one and everything. he was given up because he became so aggressive. there are ways to let your basenji know what you want, they are stubborn and really don't care what you want or don't want, and no amount of force will make it better. I had a basenji for 10 years totally sweet dog, yet when a friend of my mothers rolled up a newspaper to teach my dog how to behave? she bit him clean through his hand.

    • RE: unpredictable behaviour

      My declan was a bad biter. He was a foster no one wanted so was slated to be put to sleep.
      This is what I did
      Declan at one point stood up on the arm of the couch and as i walked by made growls and movements like he was going to bite, I found an object in the room just like cesar with tennis racquet, I was very calm and simply used the object as part of my hand/arm keeping it between us and moved forward, He attacked it, bit it, over and over and when their was a lull i challenged him again by moving forward this went on until he jumped from the couch and went under a table, i simply moved into his space again, he bit a few more times then ran outside. All of this was done with no anger, no speaking, nothing. When i got outside all i saw was two ears and eyes peeking at me from the stairs he was standing on. I welcomed him over and that was that.I think he realized that he wasn't going to get his way by biting, as he always had in the past. I had another foster with a sense of humor he liked to nip peoples clothing, and see the reaction. I think you need to get some help, get a tennis racket, give to some one willing to help, when your dog lunges and bites let him bite the racket as much as he wants, then step forward into his space with the raquet and let him bite it as much as wants, then have the person with the racket move into his space, continue until your dog relinquishes the fight and backs down. Just a suggestion it worked for me

    • RE: Please help!

      @cherif Basenjis are not for everyone, My personal feeling is that if you want a dog in a crate who doesn't sleep with you a basenji is not for you. If you are able to treat your basenji as an equal being that lives with you, that you respect and love great, but your dog is already acting out, you can't force a basenji to do anything, has to be mutual respect between you if not give her to someone who knows basenji's so that she can be happy,
      not kept crated and sleeping alone.

    • RE: Thyroid test

      numbers in the middle are your bs levels
      numbers to the right show the ranges for from low to high for example his t3 level is 0.73
      normal ranges from 0.90 to 2.10 thus one arrow down next to the normal range
      dr dodds levels for basenjiis is as follows
      t4 1.15 - 2.60
      free t4 0.70 - 1.70
      t4ft4 ratio 1.25-1.75
      t3 30-70
      free t3 1.6 - 3.5
      tgaa under 10

      the note at the bottom says the t3 is suggestive of a non thyroidal disease
      you should check that out

      you should start doing some research, get informed, figure this stuff out
      because one thing ive learned over the last year dealing with cushings
      is you cant count on your vet to steer you the right way

      hope this helps you 🙂

      else over the last year ive
