Homeopathy for Basenjis?

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Ziggy is still battling sinus/nasal drop and reverse sneezing. I'm thinking of trying a homeopathic treatment for the sinusitis and nasal drip. Has anyone here used homeopathy for their B? What did you use, and how well did it work? Thanks much. :-) ~ Lori ~

    While I have not used one, I know many people that have and they are quite good, main thing is ask for references.. and you can seach on line for one in your area….

  • I have to say–I'm very conservative when it comes to health care (both mine and my dogs....). I would go the regular vet route first. As a matter of fact, when my regualr vet couldn't solve Tyler and Zoey's skin problems, I took them to a dermatologist--he's supposed to be the best in the Bay Area. He actually did a skin biopsy on both of them, and they are finally on the right meds and getting better every day.

    We have some excellent Homopathic Vets in the Bay area… and you will find that most of them are both regular Medical Vets..... but yes, I would always try my regular Vet (but of course mine is quick to suggest a referral if needed) and yes there are some great dermatologist in this area too...

  • Yes–I forgot that there are actually homeopathic vets available. We are so lucky here in the Bay Area--we have great vets, specialists and also UC Davis veterinary school/drs not too far away--and believe me--I have used all of these resources over the past 18 years.....

    @jengosmonkey That is a very interesting link. My girl suffered none of the possible side effects. No lethargy, listlessness, weight gain and her shape remained immaculate till the day she died. But she no longer suffered from IBS.

    Our red girl dog has the same problem. Freaks out when you touch her ears with a swab, but loves the inside of her ears rubbed when petting her. You know the two handed ear & cheek rub. That gave me an idea!. I found some real soft white - tight gardening gloves (unused), gave her an ear massage and cleaned her ears out. it worked well. I was extra careful not to push the dirt down her ears, but did kind of a wiping motion out and away from her inner ears. She loved it!

    An update on Ben's condition. He had his teeth cleaned this morning and the vet had to remove several teeth. A large tooth in the back of the mouth had a cavity that went all the way to the root. He never lost his appetite during the whole ordeal or seemed to have any sensetivity of his mouth. I hope this is the end of the suffering he was going through. He was a rescue dog so we don't have the previous owners records as to dental care he had in the past. You can be sure he will be monitored from here on out for any sign of tooth decay or tarter build up. Thanks to everyone who replyed to my inquiry on Basenji health.
