@Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.
Rapamycin study

I read this article in Discover Magazine July/August 2020 this afternoon. It focuses on a study being done to research the drug, Rapamycin, and how it relates to aging in canines. The overall goal is not just to prolong our time with our pups, but how the drug would affect aging in humans as well. I thought, perhaps, others would be interested in it as well.

Interesting! I take rapamycin as an immunosuppressant medication following a bone marrow transplant (hope it helps me live longer! Lol)
