Sores on roof of mouth

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Any ideas what this could be from?

    The only thing I could think of is her chewing on a bully stick for too long? I also just switched her kibble so could it potentially be a texture difference thing?

  • If worried, take her to the Vet. Best to be safe than sorry anyway and although some people on the forums might have experience of this condition, a trip to a real live vet would be the best thing !

  • It's doubtful that kibble would cause this. Something she was chewing... maybe. Personally, I would keep an eye on it over the next couple days/week and note through photos whether the condition is improving or not. The photos will give you something to actually show the Vet (much easier than explaining it). Meanwhile, observe your dog's eating patterns, energy level, and chewing habits for obvious changes and indications of injury/illness.

    If you do go to the Vet, please update us all on the results. :)

  • @dedes9-While this could be from a bully stick but I have never had that issue... You didn't say what age she is? Is she still teething? But in the end, I would seek a Vet visit as soon as possible.

    @Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can. Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284

    This happened just 30 miles North of me where I used to work, been in all the local news. Tonight they said that PETA was giving the fire department an award and also donating some oxigen masks that can be used on pets. Good for them! Dave
