Baron update


  • Thanks for the update, Robyn. Baron has been such a great boy through all of this… and of course it helps that he has such a great mommy!!!:D Kudos to the Vet., too... sounds like she is wonderful!


  • Dr. Watkins removed the bandaging today and we were amazed at how well the wound has healed! The gap has closed up and there is only a quarter-sized area that is still healing. Baron will not have to be bandaged now though he will have to wear the cone collar a while longer so he doesn't lick the area. I am so happy he is healing! Thank you everyone for your prayers and positive vibes! They seem to be working!


  • thanks for sharing the good news!


  • That looks great! Kudos to your great vet, and your tender loving care.

    I'll keep you and Baron in my thoughts.


  • Wonderful news, congrats!!!


  • Wow…he looks like he is healing really well now. :D Yay Baron!!

    I know this is really far stretch and a late post but do some research on
    Manuka Honey +16( or higher ) We live on it here in our house as far as to prevent colds and such, BUT it also has tremendous healing powers for skin wounds. There are a lot of people ot there that have had amazing results with it when cancerous lumps have been removed, and it is natural. It might be a mess but if Baron is still wearing his cone then at least he might not be licking it of.
    Just wanted to give you some ideas as to what might work on healing it faster.

  • Dr. Watkins was so impressed with how well the wound looked yesterday that the cone collar is officially off now! Baron is so happy to be rid of that thing and so am I. That was his last check up. Thank you to everyone for your positive vibes, prayers, and well wishes.

    Basenjimamma, thank you for the tip. I will keep this in mind for any future injuries and wounds. :)

    Cooper is a rescue of unknown origin (found as a stray, in a shelter for their maximum time, then to an all-breed rescue group). His ears are somewhat offset at resting position and his tail was docked before he was found as a stray, but he otherwise looks and acts like a trindle basenji. We occasionally entertain the idea that he may be part rat terrier or something else of similar size and color, but he has to be at least 75% basenji.

    @tanza: Not to put any pressure on you or the Vet.. but to me… blood work is one of the most important tools.... and I am surprised that at least even with an appointment next week ... that they didn't take blood while he was there.... If it was me... and I am a "freak" about doing blood panels.. I would have insisted on at least that..... Thanks for letting me know. As Booger & Lola are my first "grown up" dogs (my parents took care of sick dogs growing up & we never had many issues until 1 got cancer), I really honestly don't know all the things I should be looking for or asking about. I will definitely call & ask about that. Booger does seem a LOT better today than he did yesterday, which is good. I don't take this as much of a sign of anything, but it at least makes me feel better knowing he isn't so miserable. He's a lot perkier & more playful. He gave us some playful baroos earlier, too, which is a rare treat!

    Hugs to Isis… and hopefully the blood gases were done and that Dr. Gonto was able to help you and your Vet with the right protocol program for Isis.... And there is a Fanconi yahoo list for only people with affected dogs. It would really be good for you to join that list. If you seach the yahoo list for Basenjis and Fanconi you should be able to find it.
