Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?
Quick ? About Limping!!

I agree that sometimes puppys' over-react. Bella was awful when she would loose her baby teeth!:rolleyes: She would paw at her mouth, her tongue would go crazy lapping out in the oddest ways, she would even rub her face all over the floor. You would have thought she was dying!!!:eek: But I would definitely keep an eye on him just in case…

Still limping this morning…
off to the vet at 1pm! Hope for the best!! (and least amount of money ;)!! -
Depending on the cost of the vet visit, it shouldn't be that bad. They will probably just look at it and say leave it, or give you something like Rimadyl for a few days, which isn't too bad either. I would recommend if it's hard giving pills to get the capsules, and cover with cheese. Medjai will get the chewables out of the cheese and doesn't want to eat them at all.

Hello!! Went to the Vet! Well she wasnt going to do an xray because she said whether its broken or not (the toe) theres nothing she can do. But we went ahead with the xray and his second toe is chipped
ppppppoooooorrrrr PUP PUP!! I feel so bad! She said he probably did it playing but it should heal just fine. He is doing well!! Eating playing (a little I let him) and acting as normal as can be, we are just taking it easy for a couple days. POOR Maverick Baby!! Thanks for all the Advice!! -
Sounds good, I'm glad he's doing better.
Although, I'm starting to think there IS something terribly wrong with him now. If he's acting normal, he cant be a healthy basenji.:p
-
Well, poor little thing… I guess I'd limp, too! Could have been worse, though. I'm glad the vet said he'll be OK!!!:D
-
Maybe he continued to limp because he knew it got him extra hugs
-
Hes getting TOO much love and attention!! Lol, hes JUST like Aiden, they fight to BOTH me on my lap at the same time and get jealous of each other, hehee its cute!

Chiming in on the "limping" thread here.
I noticed just today that Ziggy is limping. It's his front left leg. I did a check of his pads and don't see anything like a thorn or shard, and when massaging his foot, leg, and shoulder, he doesn't wince or cry out like it hurts. He's almost 12 years old, lives in an apartment with carpet (not wood floors), and hasn't done any exercise recently that's out of the ordinary - just our usual walks around the neighborhood.
Any thoughts? Just watch him for a day or so to see what happens?

How is he doing? Is he still limping? I would just "try" to have him take it easy..I know not easy to do..and if it persists by monday, go see the vet. If you can't see anything and more importantly, if he isn't crying or wincing in pain when manipulated, hopefully it is nothing severe.

Poor Maverick, hope he's feeling better soon.
Re Ziggy, maybe see how he is Monday, could he have perhaps jumped off a piece of furniture and pulled a muscle. Hope he's better soon also.
