Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • :) I'm looking for a new vet for my girl , her
    Current one is good , but I'd like one that has experience with
    Basenjis , or one that also always just takes walk ins ? ( great in one aspect odd on the other )
    :) if anyone knows , please let me know , Apex is great but it's in Langley and to far for me since I
    Practically live 15 mins away from YVR (Vancouver Int'l Aiport)

  • You can find Kipawa on here to message her to see who she uses.

    Combo vaccine? Hope that you mean distemper/parvo, not distemper/parvo and rabies… shots should always be separated by a few weeks inbetween... They can be really hard on dogs immune systems given all at one time

  • Distemper and parvo, she had her rabies last month ;) in the first week of may

    Yes, the test for Lyme disease is a blood test. It is a special test that is not in the regular panels– they usually run it separately, after they rule out other things. I hope your B is better! Did you find out what was wrong?

    @Benkura: His brother is my other boy 'Cahnce' who is Clear. It's just Chance & Trouper are chalk and cheese and both have good to offer the breed. I did wonder whether neutering him would be beneficial or not. Wasn't sure if it might induce too much stress. However, I would have to stop showing him if I did that and he already has 1 CC. I would not worry about doing it now… only something to consider "IF" he starts showing symptoms.... When Jaadii came down with Fanconi it was before the DNA test was available, so no one knew until he started spilling sugar. He was fine 11 months out of the year, but during Basenji breeding season he was a mess... and that was a lot of stress on him... So being neutered was not stressful, it was NOT being neutered that was. That said, not all dogs are alike... each are different... just putting in what we found with Jaadii....

    Thanks guys, I did email Sue at apubasenji's and she forwarded my email to someone on the board who lives close to me. The vet I've been using is fine but I really don't think he's all that familiar with Basenji's and I would rather take my two to someone who is!!
