Hi,
Lots of good advice here already. For the time being: I found in the Animal Desk Reference Manual (Essential Oils for Animals) by Melissa Shelton under Giardia on page 417 a list of possible remedies. One that you may have access to is Clove oil - you can put a drop or two in her water daily or in her food. Essential oils are very effective against parasites.
Who has the largest Basenji
-
Yeah I never thought he was all that big, until alote of people at the park would comment. The basenji's that we see at the dog park are small maybe thats why
I notice the B's that I see at the dog shows have tiny ears, they are cute like kitty ears.
Garretts friend Angus is 18-19" tall and was once 35 pounds. The vet said "oh my that's the biggest B I have ever seen". He has lost some weight though since then ha. -
oh these pictures of your Bs are absolutely beautiful. I love looking at them, especially the one with the grapes and flowers. that is is absolutely beautiful. thank you for posting them.

See I've been saying this for a long time that my Abby is small everyone that see's her that knows about b's says she's so little. She's tall about 16" but she only weighs 17.5, I think she is too skinny but I can not get her to bulk up. Maybe this winter when she doesn't go out as much!?!
-
Nala is on the small side too. It took Nala until she was 7+ years old to get to over 17 lbs. She kind of porked up over this summer, but has now trimmed down nicely.
-
I have a tiny girl too…Luna is itty bitty compared to the other girls!
-
Gee - here I thought EL D was on the chunky side - he's only 17 at the shoulder and weighs a mere 23-24 lbs.

maybe length from chest to tail has something to do with some dogs of fairly equal height and weight appearing to be different "sizes".
There are those that are longer and leaner looking, and those that are more square and so look "chunkier". -
My Ringo weighed in at 30 lbs when he was about 4 years old. And that's solid muscle and no fat because we were going on long daily hikes up hills and beaches at the time.

I just found this site. I saw this thread and had to post. My 6 yr old Cody is 19 1/2 inches tall and 36lbs. All muscle.
I'm not sure how to get a pic on the thread. If anyone can tell me I will upload one.

My Ed is tall, and weighs 32 lbs. He is not, however, all muscle. Not really fat, he just doesn't have a waist!

Is it just the picture or is Max really on the tan side?

If you have digital pictures you can open a free account at Photobucket.com and upload them as JPEG's.
If you do not have a digital camera you can get your pictures on a photo CD and upload them from that.

If you mean my Max, he looks kinda tan colored in the summer, but he is red.
This is the time of year I think they're coats look the best. -

I thought Jack was small for a b, but it sounds like he is about average- 24 pounds, and very muscular and trim- you can see his ribs when he moves. I recently took him to a new vet who asked how much I feed- about 3/4 c. to 1 cup twice a day, and she said wow- that is a lot for a 24 lb. dog. Which I guess it is, but Jack doesn't usually eat the whole bowl. He stops when he doesn't feel like eating anymore. Plus he gets a lot of exercise running from the couch to the bed and back.

What is the standard for a female. Marley is 9 days shy of 6 mo's and weighed 18.8 lbs at the vet yesterday. I will measure her height tonight and post a new pic.
